OCM's journey to net zero

11/09/2024

We’re in the business of reconditioning, recycling and reselling IT Technology in a sustainable way to ensure that not only OCM are on the journey towards net zero – but our clients too.

OCM are experts in the safe, secure and responsible disposal of unwanted IT & EPoS assets, data destruction and IT collection.

Indeed, for three decades OCM has a built a reputation on successfully providing high quality IT disposal services, uniquely tailored to our customers’ needs. As a result, we have become the first choice IT asset management partner of banks and financial institutions, major retailers, multi-nationals, government departments and public sector organisations.

How are OCM sustainable?

The very nature of our business means that we’re working at the heart of a sustainability: to recondition, recycle and resell unwanted equipment, ensuring it does not go to landfill. This sustainable lifecycle includes the conservation of natural resources such as copper, gold, and silver. These natural resources are harvested, meaning that we can turn your rubbish into eco-friendly technology.

The sorting of components and materials is handled in-house by the OCM team before being sent to recycling partners for further destruction and processing.

In addition, the energy we use to recondition and recycle is generated from solar panels on our roof, which have reduced our usage considerably since their install in May 2024. OCM have 239 solar panels that generate 95kW of electricity, to minimise what we draw from the national grid.

We’ve worked with countless businesses in a wide range of industries to dispose of their unwanted IT assets responsibly and securely. Here’s what they had to say about us:

“Having worked with OCM for some years, I can confidently state that their approach to customer service is exemplary. Our account manager is always highly responsive, very friendly, and consistently helpful, even if some of our requests are troublesome! OCM are a pleasure to partner with, I would not hesitate to recommend them.”

IT Service Delivery Director

“We use OCM as our recycling partner not just because they are good at recycling our unwanted IT equipment or because they follow good practices and standards to ensure we comply with the regulations. For us we use OCM over other recycling companies because of their commitment to raising money for local and national charities. Since our relationship with OCM began many years ago, we have raised tens of thousands of pounds. Our account manager is a pleasure to work with and he has personally helped to raise thousands for a local charity. As a company and as a collection of people, I would highly recommend working with them.”
