Your RGPD is our priority

At Remober, we pay particular attention to the security and traceability of your data (RGPD). As such, Remober is Blancco certified to ensure complete datawiping of your units when they are uninstalled.

When you take back your equipment, Remober will provide you with a data wiping certificate by IMEI number or serial number to ensure that the reused equipment has been completely data cleansed.

WEEE recycling

Remober is committed to reuse, but for equipment too damaged to be repaired or reconditioned, Remober is committed to recycling your units, providing you with tracking and traceability on the destruction of your devices with a certificate of destruction by IMEI number / serial number.

To ensure optimum security in the treatment of your WEEE, Remober has surrounded itself with certified partners and eco-organizations for the recycling of your terminals in compliance with European standards.

  • ENVIE Rhone-Alpes: office equipment recycling

Control your digital carbon footprint with Remober

On average, a smartphone reconditioned by Remober represents a CO2 saving of 85% compared to a new device.

By choosing to reuse your equipment and give it a second life, you’re giving other companies the opportunity to purchase refurbished smartphones, thereby avoiding their manufacture and the associated Co2 emissions.

Once your fleet has been recycled, we can provide you with a breakdown of the CO2 emissions avoided thanks to this CSR action.

Our commitment to inclusion and the fight against the digital divide

Remober is committed to a socially virtuous approach; thus, within our Circular Economy Hub (link to page), we work with 3 partners Entreprises Adaptées et d’Insertion for the audit and processing of our equipment: ENVIE Rhône-Alpes, Nouvelle Attitude and Ecodair.

With its “Collecte don” service, Remober also offers you the chance to fight against the digital divide by donating the value of your equipment to an association to finance and develop its projects.

FAQ

End of life for your equipment

Resale of your unused IT equipment, recovery, WEEE recycling… All the questions you may have about the end-of-life of your smartphones, tablets and PCs.

  • Reuse: Reuse is the operation whereby your IT equipment is guaranteed a second life for a use identical to that for which it was designed. By opting for re-use, you extend the life of your business equipment and help to reduce the production of electronic waste.
  • Recycling: The act of recovering equipment (business smartphones, business PCs, business tablets) that cannot be reused, processing it and recovering the raw materials it contains so that it can be reintroduced into the production cycle.
  • Upcycling: Reusing IT equipment to create another product, with a different use from the one for which it was designed.

The RGPD, or General Data Protection Regulation, establishes a legal framework for the protection of personal data in companies. When IT equipment is retired, employees must be informed about the processing of personal data on their equipment (company smartphones, company PCs, company tablets) and be able to retrieve it or request its deletion. Companies must therefore be able to prove that the deletion of company data has been carried out properly (e.g. data deletion certified by Blancco) and allow employees to back up their data and withdraw their Icloud and gmail accounts.

At Remober we pay particular attention to the security and traceability of your data. As such, we are Blancco certified for the complete data wiping of your units and we provide a data erasure certificate by IMEI number to assure you that company refurbished phones have been completely wiped clean of their data.

There are two types of audit:

  • The first is a cosmetic audit, in which Remober technicians establish whether or not the equipment is functional. If they are not, the equipment cannot be reused and is therefore recycled. The raw materials that make up the equipment will be recovered and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle.
  • If they are functional, the equipment undergoes a second audit, this time a technical one, which will diagnose the equipment according to 24 control points so that it can be correctly recycled.
  1. Plan ahead – Don’t wait until you have all your units before upgrading them. Think about doing it as you go along, to get the best financial return.
    De-lock – Make a de-locking request to your operator to obtain the de-locking codes. This step can take time and block the audit, so plan ahead!
  2. Depersonalise – Ask your employees to back up their data and remove their Icloud and Gmail accounts. Also remove your units from your company’s MDM.
  3. Erasure – Make sure that the company you entrust your fleet to has a recognised and certified data erasure accreditation, such as Blancco.
  4. Protect – Pack your equipment properly to prevent breakage and use neutral packaging to minimise the risk of theft. At Remober, we pay for the collection of the goods, and we offer packaging and tracking as an option.
  5. Raising awareness – Once we have taken back your equipment, Remober will send you: the volume of CO2 avoided, the data erasure certificates and a certificate if you have opted to donate your recycling to Habitat et Humanisme.

Remober’s mission is to recover as much as possible of your old equipment. When recovery is not possible, because the unit is blocked or out of service, it is recycled to recover raw materials.

To do this, we work with various partners (Morphois, RSB, Ecologic) who carry out the various stages of recycling: firstly, the logistical collection, weighing, IMEI recording and sorting of the units; then the dismantling, crushing and treatment of the devices so that they can be recovered as raw materials. Our processes are ISO14001, ISO9001 and Weelabex certified.
