Certifications and standards

  • Other accreditation Company says — stated on its website, not yet checked by us

Verified means we found it on the official register or the scheme’s own list on the date shown. Company says means it is stated on the company’s website and we haven’t checked it yet. Registers can lag behind, so “not found” or “no longer current” is not an accusation. What these mean.

Environmental claims

They say

“Corporate service promises 0% landfill: items that cannot be reused are recycled”

This is the company’s own claim, as stated on its website. We haven’t checked it. How to judge “zero to landfill” claims.

About Little Lives UK

Little Lives UK is a Dorset-based children's charity whose Technology Programme gives refurbished phones, tablets and laptops to disadvantaged children through schools, councils, hospitals and youth clubs; it reports more than 2,700 devices distributed. Devices that are not suitable are sold to fund its free youth mental-health work, and the rest is recycled.

Its own van fleet offers free collections of laptops, desktop PCs, monitors, servers, tablets, phones, TVs and games consoles from homes and offices across Greater London and in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Smaller devices can also be posted with a free label or taken to its London charity shops. Every device is wiped with industry-standard overwriting software before refurbishment, faulty drives are physically destroyed, and a NIST 800-88 data-destruction certificate is available on request.

For businesses with 50 or more laptops, monitors or servers it offers a corporate IT disposal service in London with CSR impact reporting and a zero-landfill commitment.
