Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
Our policy ensures that everything we process is dealt with environmentally.
No harmful components are sent to landfill, and no harmful waste is sent
overseas for dumping.
Additionally, through our ongoing research and development efforts with
partner organizations, we are also realizing the vision of creating
secondary products from otherwise harmful electrical and electronic
components and discovering new methods of reclaiming useful materials from
e-waste.
Re-use provides more environmental benefit than recycling as it requires
less energy to be used therefore reducing carbon emissions. In addition,
this benefits the environment by helping to keep serviceable computers out
of landfills. Also though our work we have established that 1 in 3
companies can generate positive financial returns from their redundant IT by
re-using it via Maxitech.
Maxitech.biz is registered with the UK Environment Agency and also holds BS
EN ISO 14001:2004 for environmental programme and 0% landfill policy and BS
EN ISO 9001:2000 certification for the efficiency of service and security
policy. We work with other authorized specialist recycling companies who
also adhere to highest available standards and hold ISO 14001 registrations.
