Wiltshire-based Blackmore UK has partnered with Devon Contract Waste (DCW), a subsidiary of SUEZ, to donate 20 refurbished laptops to Littletown Primary Academy in Honiton.
The residual value of end-of-life IT equipment collected from Devon Contract Waste's customers, including laptops, phones, tablets and storage drives, has funded the donation, which is now benefiting Littletown Primary Academy's pupils.
Access to a suitable digital device at primary school age is widely recognised as critical to a child's educational development, confidence and long-term life chances. The donated laptops are now being used for homework and developing essential digital skills.
ReTech is run by Devon Contract Waste and is facilitated by Blackmore UKโs Level IT scheme.
Level IT gives unwanted and end-of-life devices a new lease of life through the responsible processing of redundant IT equipment. The residual value is then used to purchase professionally refurbished devices of the right type for the needs of the students, which are then donated to primary schools.
The Level IT scheme enables businesses to dispose of their redundant IT with confidence, knowing their data is securely sanitised by ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 certified processes and handled in full compliance with GDPR. At the same time contributing to businessesโ ESG and CSR targets, without additional financial outlay, increased safeguarding responsibilities or operational burden.
Each year, Blackmore UK safely collects and diverts more than 106,000 IT assets from landfill. 67% of all end user devices are professionally refurbished for reuse rather than recycled and prevents 8221 tonnes of COโ emissions from entering the atmosphere.
