Everyone talks about sustainability, but how can OCM help you meet your goals?

26/09/2023

Sustainability is important because it ensures that we can meet the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This means that we need to use our resources wisely and protect our environment so that they can be used for generations to come.

The Earth's resources are finite, and we need to use them wisely in order to protect the environment for future generations. Sustainability helps us to do this by reducing pollution, conserving resources, and protecting biodiversity.

Recycling old IT equipment conserves natural resources. Many of the materials used in IT equipment can be recycled and reused, which helps to conserve natural resources such as copper, gold, and silver.

How waste is handled is one of OCM’s priorities to ensure we comply with our ISO 14001 Environmental Management System’s objectives. Sorting of components and some materials is handled by OCM before being sent to recycling partners for further destruction and processing. OCM along with all of our recycling partners have the relevant licences and registrations in place and are assessed annually.

Additionally, OCM have 167 solar panels that generate 63.44kW of electricity to minimise what we draw from the national grid.

We’ve worked with countless businesses in a wide range of industries to dispose of their unwanted IT assets responsibly and securely. Here’s what they had to say about us:

“Having worked with OCM for some years, I can confidently state that their approach to customer service is exemplary. Our account manager is always highly responsive, very friendly, and consistently helpful, even if some of our requests are troublesome! OCM are a pleasure to partner with, I would not hesitate to recommend them.”

IT Service Delivery Director

“We use OCM as our recycling partner not just because they are good at recycling our unwanted IT equipment or because they follow good practices and standards to ensure we comply with the regulations. For us we use OCM over other recycling companies because of their commitment to raising money for local and national charities. Since our relationship with OCM began many years ago, we have raised tens of thousands of pounds. Our account manager is a pleasure to work with and he has personally helped to raise thousands for a local charity. As a company and as a collection of people, I would highly recommend working with them.”

Head of Technology Support

“We had limited time and resource to collate all equipment from various floors and OCM managed to sort in type order, identify data items and preparation for collection. Very happy with the asset reporting detail provided and erasure ID information”
