Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions below.

What is Recover-E?

Recover-E is our dedicated social procurement engine — with 100% of Recover-E profit reinvested into Catalysing Connections. It is an ISO-certified IT asset recovery service for secure data wiping and sustainable e-waste processing — delivering traceable ESG outcomes.

How is data kept secure?

Every device is wiped or destroyed in line with ISO 27001-certified processes. We use certified software erasure (Blancco), NSA-grade degaussing, or physical shredding depending on asset type. You receive a certificate of data sanitisation for every device, giving you a full audit trail for compliance and peace of mind.

What happens to the hardware after data wiping?

Once data is securely removed, all assets are processed through R2v3 and ISO 14001-certified downstream recycling partners. Components and materials are ethically recovered, keeping e-waste out of landfill and supporting Australia’s circular ICT economy.

Can Recover-E reuse or resell my equipment?

Where devices are serviceable and meet compliance standards, Recover-E securely wipes and resells them through approved channels. 100% of Recover-E profit is reinvested into Catalysing Connections, extending both the life of the technology and its positive social impact.

Why is “free” e-waste collection risky?

Free services often lack certification, secure erasure, or traceable reporting — creating data, compliance, and reputational risks. Recover-E provides enterprise-grade assurance with certified processes and audit-ready documentation.

What certifications does Recover-E hold?

Recover-E operates under a fully audited framework that includes:

  • ISO 27001 – Information Security Management (data wiping and custody).
  • ISO 14001 – Environmental Management (sustainable recycling).
  • R2v3 – Responsible Recycling Standard.
  • Certified B Corporation® – independently verified social and environmental performance.
  • Social Traders Certified Social Enterprise – recognised for reinvesting profit into social good.
  • Carbon Credited Certified (NetNada) – ensuring climate accountability across operations.
Does Recover-E support ESG reporting standards such as ASRS and NGERS?

Yes. Every Recover-E engagement includes ESG-ready reporting that aligns with recognised Australian and global standards, including ASRS (Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards) and NGERS (National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme). Each report details data sanitisation outcomes, landfill diversion, and estimated carbon savings, giving you audit-ready evidence for ESG disclosures and procurement compliance.

Do you provide services Australia-wide?

Yes — Recover-E offers secure on-site pickup and logistics across all Australian states and territories. Our team coordinates collection, chain of custody, and certified processing regardless of your organisation’s size or location.

What kind of organisations use Recover-E?

Recover-E supports businesses, government departments, and not-for-profits that need compliant IT asset disposal, data-security assurance, and ESG reporting — from single-site offices to large enterprise environments.
