Our Environmental Accomplishment
Gigacycle are proud to operate a 0% Landfill policy. In our computer recycling processing facility in manchester we can recycle and reuse every piece of IT related equipment.
How do we do this? Our first option is to Reuse! We aim to reuse as a first option as this is the best form of recycling as it requires less energy and has the least environmental impact than it would to manufacture again.
If the equipment is broken or is deemed unusable our team of skilled technicians will deconstruct it to raw materials such as plastic, aluminium, steel and copper and glass.
These Raw materials are then used to manufacture new products!
