On Sunday morning, November 8, 2026, IT Recycling was featured on the show \u201cInnoverend Nederland\u201d on RTL 7. In a two-and-a-half-minute segment, we demonstrated how we securely and verifiably dispose of organizations\u2019 decommissioned IT equipment. Data Security & Resource Recovery<\/strong>, from pickup to the final recovered raw material.<\/p>\n

Data Destruction and Reuse: Behind the Scenes in Veghel<\/h2>\n

The cameras from Innoverend Nederland were given access to our entire processing facility in Veghel. Managing Director Jeroen Stabel takes viewers on a tour of the areas where decommissioned IT equipment arrives, is registered, and is processed.<\/p>\n

You can see how data storage devices are verifiably destroyed and how laptops and PCs are tested and prepared for reuse. Items that are no longer usable are separated so that raw materials can be recovered. Every step is recorded, ensuring that the supply chain remains verifiably closed.<\/p>\n

The Leave No Trace Method in Innovative Netherlands<\/h2>\n

Our \u201cLeave No Trace\u201d method takes center stage in this segment. Decommissioned IT equipment still contains data, value, and responsibility. We ensure that nothing of that remains behind.<\/p>\n

We do this using our own specialists and our own transportation, which now includes electric trucks. Data and material flows never intersect. For us, destruction is a last resort: anything that still has value is given a second life. The Lansink Ladder serves as our guiding principle in this process.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for your organization?<\/h2>\n

We pick up decommissioned IT equipment free of charge, using our own specialists and our own transportation. After processing, you\u2019ll receive a data destruction certificate within ten days listing all data storage devices and their scanned serial numbers, along with an environmental certificate and a weighing report. This ensures you have everything you need for your audit and ESG reporting.<\/p>\n

Is the data sensitive? If so, you can choose between the physical destruction of all data storage media without reuse or on-site data destruction. Our processes are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and WEEELABEX, and we hold EcoVadis Platinum status. You can find all our rates on our page detailing data destruction and processing costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
