  • Blancco partner 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 Registers can lag behind, so “not found” or “no longer current” is not an accusation.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

“Says it ensures 0% of donors' e-waste goes to landfill”

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 The Turing Trust

The Turing Trust runs an IT refurbishment workshop at Pentland Industrial Estate in Loanhead, Midlothian. Businesses and individuals donate desktops, laptops, monitors and other kit, which is data-wiped with certified software (with per-device certificates) and refurbished with educational software for schools in the UK and abroad, mainly Malawi.

Faulty drives are physically destroyed, with on-site shredding available if required, and anything that cannot be reused is recycled through authorised WEEE partners. For larger decommissioning projects it works alongside accredited commercial ITAD partners.
