UK Circular IT provider Stone Group is launching its IT asset disposal (ITAD) services in France, Germany, Holland and Spain by teaming up with Ingram Micro Commerce & Lifecycle Services.
The IT reseller said that businesses in those four locations can book a collection of their end-of-use IT equipment through the Stone 360 app, which launched late last year.
The company also said it remains committed to the growing challenges of e-waste across the globe and aims to ensure zero waste is sent to landfill.
“Since the launch of the Stone 360 app in the UK, we have managed to save over 150,000 broken or redundant IT items from ending up in landfill,” said Tim Westbrook, director of Stone Group.
“We’re one of few IT resellers who take full responsibility for the kit we sell to our customers by investing in our own ITAD facility and the app to make it as easy as possible for our customers to dispose of their unwanted IT securely and sustainably.”
Westbrook added that the company has set its sights on replicating “this success further afield” with its Stone Group Europe ITAD Services.
“Ingram Micro was the perfect company for us across these territories because they share our passion for taking responsibility for the items we sell to our customers and taking steps to help address the world’s massive e-waste crisis,” Westbrook said.
“They have excellent ITAD facilities in France, Germany, Holland and Spain and eventually we hope to extend our services to more countries across Europe,” he added.
“This relationship will help organisations across Europe reap the benefits of the Stone 360 app, enabling them to easily arrange collections of old IT devices, reducing their e-waste impact, and helping achieve their sustainability goals through the responsible reuse and recycling of their IT assets,” said Todd Zegers, vice president global ITAD and Reverse Logistics, Ingram Micro Commerce & Lifecycle Services.
In addition to providing ITAD services, Stone Europe is planning to extend sales of new IT solutions to customers for use in each of those four European territories.
