Designed for Secure and Audit-Ready Asset Recovery
Our buyback assessments are supported by documented asset handling and customer agreements. Where certified activities are referenced, they apply only to the facility and processes within the actual certificate scope.
R2v3 certification applies only to activities and facilities covered by the current certificate. Buyback assessment does not imply that testing, repair, refurbishment, or all downstream resale activities are R2-certified.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the buyback value determined?
The value is based on specifications, age, cosmetic and functional condition, completeness, quantity, location, and market demand. The final value and transfer conditions are agreed with the customer after assessment.
What happens to data stored on the assets?
Data-bearing assets are managed according to the approved data handling scope. Sanitization methods and verification depend on media type, condition, and requirements; where wiping is unsuccessful, an approved destruction route may be needed.
Can non-functional equipment be included?
Yes, it can be submitted for assessment. Accepted assets may be directed to authorized processing or responsible recycling, depending on condition and the agreed scope; resale is not assumed.
Do you provide reports and certificates?
Yes. Available asset records, sanitization evidence, commercial documentation, and any service certificates depend on the approved scope and completed method.
What happens to assets after buyback?
Depending on the agreed terms and asset condition, accepted assets may be routed for further processing, responsible recycling, or potential reuse. Any onward sale must comply with documented customer instructions, ownership-transfer terms, data security controls, and applicable testing or processing requirements.
Does buyback include repair or refurbishment?
Not as part of this buyback assessment offering. Any separate testing, repair, or refurbishment activity must first be checked against the current operational and certification scope, with qualified downstream processing where applicable.
