London-based Community Interest Company (CIC), SocialBox.Biz, has released an updated guide on secure IT reuse, offering impactful alternatives to traditional IT recycling and disposal for companies. The guide, which is informed by the company’s ongoing campaigns and resources, explores the benefits of prioritizing reuse and highlights the potential for companies to reduce Scope 3 CO₂ emissions, enhance ESG and CSR profiles, ensure GDPR-compliant data security, and drive social impact by donating usable tech to disadvantaged communities.
The guide draws from recent press releases, FAQs, and articles to provide actionable insights for businesses looking to adopt a “reuse first” approach. SocialBox.Biz, known for their “Call Before You Scrap It” campaign, champions the reuse of corporate IT assets to extend their lifespan, conserve resources, and align with circular economy principles.
According to the guide, traditional IT recycling often involves scrapping functional devices, contributing to waste and higher emissions. In contrast, reuse offers numerous advantages, including environmental impact, social good, ESG and CSR enhancement, and cost efficiency. By donating usable devices, companies can support digital inclusion and provide access to education, job training, and connectivity for underserved groups, turning old tech into measurable community benefits before it becomes waste.
Recent campaigns, such as “Before You Recycle That Laptop, Call SocialBox.Biz” (launched in July 2025), have urged universities and businesses to donate before disposal, cutting e-rubbish while amplifying impact.
To ensure security in IT reuse, SocialBox.Biz adheres to strict protocols to protect sensitive information. This includes certified double-layered data wiping using industry-standard software and providing full chain-of-custody tracking, ISO 27001 alignment, and Data Destruction Certificates (DDC) for audits.
The guide outlines a step-by-step process for companies looking to integrate reuse into their IT strategy. This includes assessing surplus IT, scheduling hassle-free pickups, securely wiping data, and repurposing functional devices through donations to charities. Companies can also receive ESG reports on CO₂ savings and social outcomes, as well as certificates, impact metrics, and media support to showcase their CSR efforts.
For companies without surplus tech, SocialBox.Biz offers the option to sponsor impact plans, such as tech labs or training, to claim emission offsets and build impact. The company has also released updated videos in 2025, showcasing case studies, CO₂ savings, and their “Call Before You Scrap It” campaign.
The guide incorporates insights from SocialBox.Biz’s resources and press coverage, including recent press releases and campaigns, key articles, FAQs, and their homepage overview. Businesses looking for tailored advice can reach out to SocialBox.Biz to integrate reuse into their IT strategy and position themselves as sustainability leaders.
