Takeover and enhancement of your IT assets

• 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.
