Computer recycling for businesses
Desktops, all-in-ones and monitors, processed with certification
Decommissioned desktops, all-in-ones and displays are dismantled and separated into material streams: housing, circuit board, power supply and display handled separately. Processed by certified processors; you receive an overview per assignment of what went where.

A desktop is raw material, not waste
A desktop or all-in-one contains a steel or aluminium housing, a power supply with copper, a circuit board with precious metals and often one or more hard drives. Displays are processed separately because of the glass and backlighting. Every device is first registered and stripped of its storage media, after which we dismantle it and separate it by material.

What happens to each part
Per assignment we report the weight per stream and its destination. On the left the streams from the desktop and all-in-one, on the right monitors and the storage media. The percentages are example values, RQNX confirms the actual split.
- Housing≈ 45%
Steel or aluminium to metal recycling
- Power supply≈ 15%
Copper and plastic separated
- Circuit board≈ 10%
Precious metal recovery at a certified smelter
- Hard drives and SSDs≈ 10%
First erased or shredded, then into the metal stream

How computer recycling works at RQNX IT
From collection to material report in three steps, each recorded by serial number.
1
Registration and erasure
Every device recorded by serial number, storage media erased or destroyed according to NIST SP 800-88
2
Dismantling
Housing, power supply, circuit board and display separated by material
3
Processing and report
Processed by certified processors, weight and destination per stream in your report
Questions about computer recycling
Which computers do you accept?
Desktops, all-in-ones and monitors, including accessories such as cables and power supplies. If in doubt, send a list.
What happens to the hard drive?
It is erased or destroyed according to NIST SP 800-88 before dismantling, with a certificate per medium. Only after that does the device enter the material stream.
Are monitors processed separately?
Yes. Displays contain glass and backlighting that must be processed separately from the other material streams.
What figures do I get for my CSRD reporting?
Per assignment: weight per material stream, destination and processor, share reused and the number of devices by serial number.
