Security & Compliance
How do you ensure data security during disposal?
All assets remain within a documented chain of custody. Data-bearing devices undergo certified wiping or physical destruction aligned with ISO 27001, GDPR and NCSC-approved standards.
Do you provide certification and audit evidence?

Can your processes be audited?
Yes. We maintain documented and transparent workflows suitable for internal audit, regulatory review and governance assurance.
Collections & Logistics
Do you provide nationwide collections?
Yes. We operate secure logistics across the UK, supporting scheduled collections, refresh programmes and multi-site asset movements.
Can you collect from secure or restricted environments?
Yes. Our teams operate in regulated and high-security environments including healthcare facilities, data centres, laboratories and controlled estates.
How are assets tracked during transport?
Assets are logged at collection and remain traceable throughout transport and processing via a controlled chain of custody.
Can you manage high-volume or ongoing programmes?
Yes. Our infrastructure supports both large-scale projects and ongoing lifecycle requirements for enterprise and industry partners.
Sustainability & ESG
How do your services support ESG strategies?
Our lifecycle model prioritises reuse, responsible recycling and material recovery, generating measurable environmental outcomes that support ESG and sustainability reporting.
Do you provide Scope 3 emissions reporting?
Yes. We provide verified environmental data including carbon impact, landfill diversion and material recovery metrics aligned to Scope 3 reporting needs.
What does zero-to-landfill mean in practice?
All processed technology and WEEE is directed into reuse, recycling or material recovery pathways. No processed waste is sent to landfill.
How do you support circular economy objectives?
We prioritise reuse and refurbishment wherever possible and recover valuable materials from end-of-life equipment to return resources to manufacturing supply chains.
Facilities & Processing
Where are your facilities located?
Ego Technology operates specialist centres in central England and Bradford, forming a national infrastructure for secure technology assessment and high-capacity processing.
What happens at each facility?
Assets are securely received, logged and assessed to determine reuse or recovery pathways. Equipment is then processed through controlled workflows for refurbishment, recycling or material recovery.
Do you outsource processing?
No. Assets are managed within our controlled infrastructure to maintain security, compliance and full chain-of-custody assurance.
How are valuable materials recovered?
Equipment is dismantled and segregated into specialist recovery streams that enable the extraction of rare earth elements and critical materials for reuse in manufacturing.
How do you ensure environmental compliance?
All processes operate within regulated frameworks aligned to environmental legislation and certified management systems.
Commercial & Contracts
Do you offer buy-back or rebate programmes?
Yes. Where assets retain market value, we provide secure resale and buy-back options with transparent valuation reporting.
How are projects priced?
Pricing depends on asset volumes, logistics requirements and processing needs. We provide clear quotations tailored to each programme.
Can services be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. We design lifecycle programmes to align with operational requirements, governance frameworks and reporting needs.
Do you provide white-label reporting?
Yes. All reports, certificates and documentation can be branded for internal teams or external stakeholders.
