Asset recovery

Unlocking value with asset recovery and second-life deployment

28 August 2026 · 5 min read · Sanjeev Soni

Retired devices still carry value. Grading, refurbishment and remarketing can fund your next refresh while reducing e-waste.

Recover before you recycle

Many devices retired in a refresh cycle are fully serviceable. Testing and grading identifies which units can be redeployed internally, resold or donated.

Choose the right channel

B2B buyback, marketplace remarketing and SMB second-life programmes each offer different value and speed. Match the channel to the volume and grade mix.

Close the loop

Only what cannot be reused should go to certified recycling — improving both recovered value and sustainability reporting.
