IT Asset Recovery

At APIM, we recover all end of line computer and computing related electrical products. These are recovered from ex-lease items, surplus IT and redundant equipment.

Reduce, Refurbish, Reuse, Recycle are key to APIM UKs operations as these are key environmentally conscious words.

While adopting the 4R process, APIM provides both hardware and software audit consultancy service for all our clients. This includes the cataloguing all applications on the equipment collected as well as providing a certificate of asset recovery to cover environmental disposal of equipment.

Based on the type of item, our component parts are fully stripped and send off for recycling. These items are what APIM terms as disposals items.
