SocialBox.biz, a leading organization in promoting reuse before recycling and disposal for IT equipment, is partnering with businesses during Recycle Week (22-28 September 2025) and beyond. This initiative not only addresses computer access exclusion, but also provides a more impactful way for companies to prevent e-waste and reduce their carbon footprint.
To help businesses and individuals champion the “reuse before you recycle” message, SocialBox.biz has created a promotional campaign toolkit. This toolkit includes the following suggestions for businesses:
– Host an IT equipment collection drive: Encourage employees and the business to donate old laptops, MacBooks, tablets, and other functional IT equipment. For larger quantities, SocialBox.biz can arrange on-site pickups and provide secure data wiping.
– Highlight your company’s CSR and ESG credentials: Promote the initiative through internal and external communication channels. SocialBox.biz can provide reports and data, such as estimated CO2 savings, to include in sustainability reporting.
– Share success stories: Partner with SocialBox.biz to create a mini-case study featuring your company’s donation. This can showcase how the donated technology was rehomed with a charity partner, providing a vital tool for someone in need.
– Support the theme of “Rescue Me! Recycle”: Use the official Recycle Week hashtag, #RecycleWeek, and add your own message about rescuing tech from being scrapped to give it a second life. For example, a social media post could say: “This #RecycleWeek, we’re helping rescue tech. Instead of sending old laptops for recycling, we’re partnering with @SocialBoxBiz to give them to those who need them most.”
– Invest in training labs: Take it a step further by sponsoring SocialBox.biz’s IT skills training or tech labs. This provides tangible support for disadvantaged individuals who will be using the donated equipment.
For businesses looking to showcase their commitment to corporate social responsibility and Environmental, Social, and Governance, the ‘Call Before You Scrap It’ campaign is a great opportunity. By partnering with SocialBox.biz, businesses can make a positive impact on the environment and society by prioritising reuse before disposal.
