ITAD, or IT Asset Disposition, is the process by which old or surplus hardware is securely disposed of for reuse or recycling. Holland Recycling is your ITAD partner for the safe, responsible and environmentally conscious decommissioning of end-of-life IT equipment.
"Your partner from IT buyback to certified data destruction."
No fancy words, thick contracts and lots of promises, just clear agreements. By entrusting your ITAD process to Holland Recycling, you easily secure a higher payout, certified data destruction and sustainable processing of your hardware.
In the first step, we work with you to take stock of which IT hardware needs to be disposed of and what the options are.
In the second step, we collect your hardware using our own secure transport.
In the third step, your data is 100% certifiably destroyed, either via software using Certus Software or physically using our shredder.
The fourth step is testing your equipment for reusability. Working hardware gets a second life.
In the fifth and final step, you receive a full report, destruction certificates, and we arrange prompt payment.
A sustainable approach is central to Holland Recycling. Not only the processing itself is important here, but especially the way we do it. Because the refurbishment process for IT hardware lends itself particularly well to employing people with a distance to the labour market, we have a wonderfully mixed team. As a member of CSR initiative AANtWERK, we work daily towards inclusive business practices. Want to know more about our social approach? Check out our page about sustainability and CSR.

ITAD stands for IT Asset Disposition. This is a structured process that outlines how hardware (IT assets) should be safely and environmentally processed or phased out: from transportation to data wiping or destruction.
No, electronics recycling and ITAD are two different ways of disposing of end-of-life IT devices. The ITAD process initially focuses on devices that still (partially) work or are reusable. With ITAD, you also receive official certificates, and the security of your data is guaranteed thanks to strict protocols. Holland Recycling is an ITAD-certified recycling company. This means we specialise in the correct and secure processing of your business IT equipment.
The costs or proceeds of ITAD depend on the volume and type of hardware, as well as the required services such as certified data wiping, transport, or reporting. In many cases, the residual value of your equipment largely, fully, or partially offsets the processing costs. Holland Recycling assesses your situation and provides a clear overview of costs and revenues.
A reliable ITAD partner works according to certified methods for data destruction. Holland Recycling offers two options: software-based wiping via Certus Erasure (certified by the NCSC and Common Criteria EAL3+) or physical shredding in accordance with DIN66399 protection class 3, security level H5. In both cases, you receive a destruction certificate with serial number registration. This allows you to demonstrate to regulators, auditors or your own compliance department, during any inspection, that your data has been professionally and GDPR-proof destroyed.
