Val Your Stock is a pioneer in the field of data destruction and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment in end of life. Based in Brussels and operating in the Netherlands and Luxembourg, our company resolutely commits itself to a circular economic model, respectful of the environment. Thanks to our innovative solutions for the reuse, recycling and valorization of computer components, we actively contribute to limiting the extraction of new natural resources and reducing the production of electronic waste.
The circular economy is an economic model aiming to optimize the use of resources and minimize the production of waste. Unlike the traditional linear economy, based on extraction, consumption and disposal, the circular economy strives to keep products, components and materials in the economic cycle for as long as possible.
This concept is based on several fundamental principles:
The objective of the circular economy is to create virtuous loops in which resources are constantly reused, thus minimizing the extraction of new raw materials and the generation of waste.
The circular economy offers many economic, environmental and social advantages. On the economic level first, the fact of extending the life of goods and transforming waste into new resources reduces the costs for producers and consumers, while preserving natural resources.
The circular economy model fits more generally into the framework of sustainable development, defined by Ms. Gro Harlem Bruntland (Norwegian Prime Minister in 1987) as "a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Thus, limiting the extraction and processing of raw materials contributes to reducing negative impacts on the environment to preserve the future of our beautiful planet.
Finally, on the social level, the circular economy favors the creation of local jobs in sectors such as repair, reconditioning and recycling. New professions have thus been able to emerge to encourage innovation and develop new technologies and new processes to optimize the use of resources.
At Val Your Stock, we implement various strategies to promote a circular economy in the field of the treatment of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (D3E). Our approach is characterized by a rigorous process of anonymization, traceability and recycling of computer components.
First, we apply a strict methodology to ensure the confidentiality of data, in the strictest respect of the General Regulation on Data Protection (RGPD). Each device undergoes an anonymization process, followed by a barcode identification to facilitate logistics and traceability of components. This systematic approach allows us to maximize the potential of reuse of computer components recovered safely.
We demonstrate our commitment to preserving resources by recovering and reusing as many elements as possible, from computers to servers, through screens and hard drives. Thanks to meticulous controls and meticulous reconditioning, these devices find a new purpose. Val Your Stock is also the only company in Belgium to be able to recycle the chipsets present on the motherboards of computers and servers.
In addition, we have established strategic partnerships with local recycling centers specialized in the management of waste from electrical and electronic equipment. This collaboration allows us to ensure optimal recovery of primary and secondary materials from the equipment we process.
Finally, as IT brokers, we buy and put back into circulation lots of used computer equipment, after carefully refurbishing them. This activity allows our clients to benefit from computer equipment composed of recycled elements, and therefore at a lower cost.
Proud of our actions, we have participated and have been awarded the Be
