Sustainable, secure and simple IT Asset Disposal
E-waste is the world’s fastest-growing waste stream, and Persistent Organic Pollutants in IT can harm ecosystems. To help you take responsibility for unwanted IT, we'll help you recycle sustainably and securely without landfill using our award-winning service - because we're the UK's only manufacturer and reseller with our own on-site IT asset disposal facility.
We’ve been responsibly recycling unwanted IT for public, private and education sector organisations for over ten years.
Our sustainable business has been named “One to Watch” at the Global Good Awards and our EcoVadis Silver accreditation places us in the top 7% of global IT manufacturers for environmental and social sustainability.

It’s critical to us and our students that we embed sustainability into everything we do – it’s essential that our partners have a similar ethos. Data management and protection is very important, too. I recommend Stone without hesitation

The charity group used Stone360® to recycle devices while protecting sensitive data. “Recycling our old IT was remarkably simple thanks to Stone – I couldn’t believe it was so stress-free. An easy to use app, free collection, money back and good for the environment. What’s not to love?
