What we offer
Recycling and reuse
Recycling and reuse give materials and equipment a new life once sensitive content has been securely wiped, helping valuable resources return to use in a safe, traceable way.
- Safe, traceable handling before reuse or recycling
- Functional products checked and approved for reuse
- High‑rate material recycling through advanced processes
Stena Confidential is the most secure choice when it comes to wiping sensitive data and destroying and/or recycling physical materials. Physical materials, and how we handle them, are our contribution to the circular economy. Through recycling and reuse, your materials and equipment can play an important role.
Safety and traceability are top priorities when we are trusted to handle your confidential matters. Whether these are paper documents, electronic devices or other products that are taken care of, we guarantee that collection and destruction are carried out in a safe and traceable way.
But that’s not all. Once all confidential and sensitive content has been wiped, something remains that is often useful: material of various kinds that can be put to use in society again. This is how Stena Confidential, together with you as a customer, can make a specific contribution to the circular economy.
Recycling of waste electronics
Used IT hardware, such as computers, tablets and various types of storage systems, often have the potential to be given a new lease of life. Reusing used products means that resources in the form of raw materials and energy can be saved. This in turn also means that carbon dioxide emissions are avoided. In short, it is a valuable element of a circular economy.
Once all sensitive and confidential information has been wiped in a controlled manner, all products to be reused undergo a thorough functional check. If the product or its components are fit for purpose, they can then be resold for reuse.
New lease of life through recycling
When reuse is not relevant, for example when it comes to old or broken computers, we make sure that the different materials are recycled. Computers, phones and tablets contain precious metals that, with the right methods, can be given a new lease of life in new products. The same applies to plastic, which can become a raw material for new plastic products. Through its partnership with Stena Recycling, Stena Confidential has access to advanced processes with a very high recycling rate.
We also endeavor to recycle paper as much as possible. Recycling paper saves not only trees, but also other resources, and saves energy that would otherwise be used when new paper is made from raw wood material.
Energy recovery generates heat and electricity
Paper fibers can only be recycled a limited number of times, and some plastics and other materials are not suitable at all for recycling into new materials. In this case, energy recovery is a good option. Paper and plastic contain valuable energy and can therefore be used in thermal power plants that generate electricity and district heating for households and industries. Today’s modern incineration plants have highly advanced flue gas cleaning. They are also subject to strict environmental legislation and regulatory control. Energy recovery by incinerating waste is therefore a good option, especially compared to the incineration of fossil raw materials such as coal and oil.
