Rethinking tomorrow, today.Circular IT for
a greener tomorrow.

Refurbishing? You bet! It’s easy:

We take delivery of your used IT devices and prepare them for resale. To do this, we first erase all data – completely, irretrievably and in accordance with GDPR standards. We then anonymise and neutralise your devices and test them thoroughly before allowing them to move into their new home.

Sale

You sell us your client hardware. We accept notebooks, PCs, tablets and smartphones, as well as network and data centre hardware like switches, routers, servers and storage. Just contact us with a list of your used devices so we can put together a no-obligation offer for you. Alternatively, we would be happy to advise you about which hardware is suitable for profitable resale.

Packing and pick-up

At your request, our employees will dismantle your hardware and pack it professionally for transport – because safety comes first. That's why all our logistics staff and partners undergo regular training to ensure that your sensitive IT hardware is transported securely. In addition, our vehicles are GPS-monitored and sealed for maximum security.

Arrival and inventory

Your goods are documented with the complete hardware specifications and any included accessories. As part of our detailed inspection, we open every case to ensure that all hardware is recorded – so no storage media goes unnoticed.

Anonymisation and cleaning

Of course, nothing on your devices should point to you as the previous owner. That’s why we anonymise them and remove any stickers, logos, or other identifiers. We also check bags and drives for documents and storage devices before thoroughly cleaning all the devices.

Data erasure and storage media destruction

We provide auditable data erasure in accordance with DIN standards and the GDPR. If erasure is not possible, the storage media are destroyed with video evidence and then recycled. Our subsidiary Green IT Services GmbH is certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, as well as EMAS at the Ellwangen site.

Audit

We assess the condition of each device according to a fixed catalogue of criteria. To make the audit absolutely transparent and easy to understand, we make all the information available to you on our Spect customer platform. There, you can view the classification of each device along with documentation and photos of all defects that were found.

Recycling

Our aim is to refurbish as many devices as possible to reduce the impact on the environment. Nevertheless, some devices cannot be refurbished. But even in these cases, we take responsibility for the environment. Together with our regional disposal partner, we ensure that the devices are recycled as sustainably as possible.

Here’s how GITS Remarketing works

Your advantages at a glanceBe smart – be green. Sell your old hardware, open new doors.

Hardware, but fair

Don’t let your old hardware languish away in storage. We’ll make you a straightforward offer for your used devices. And we’ll take care of everything – from planning to refurbishing.

Price after audit

We set the price for your hardware after a detailed audit, which you can view at any time for full visibility into pricing decisions.

Trade In 

Out with the old, in with the renewed: We’ll exchange your used devices for a voucher for refurbished hardware. It’s that easy to go green.

GITS couldn't be more transparent

From pick-up to resale and every step in between, our in-house Spect software lets you follow your device’s journey in detail. We don't just clean up your old hardware, we keep our processes crystal clear, too – so you’re always in the know.

Safety first 

Protecting your company data is our top priority. Our software-driven processes ensure that your hardware is processed securely while providing seamless documentation.

Global Service With a Personal Touch

No matter where you are, you can count on us. With our global approach, we always process your devices according to certified standards and ensure complete transparency through our Spect app – worldwide. We’re also available locally with our location in Germany and our sister company in Switzerland.

Environmental protection

Refurbishing saves not only money, but our planet's resources as well. By using hardware and components like rare earths more efficiently, we can reduce the consumption of valuable raw materials. And once your IT devices have reached the end of their service life, we ensure they’re recycled sustainably.

Deletion. Done right.

Our data erasure process completely wipes all information from your own devices – and gives you visibility into every step of our work. The entire process is powered by leading data erasure software and is not only fully GDPR-compliant.

Shredding isn’t
just for rockstars

We know a thing or two about privacy – and we take it seriously. So when it comes to data storage devices, it’s always safety first. If your storage media can’t be reused due to security concerns, we ensure its secure and environmentally friendly destruction. Our subsidiary Green IT Services carries out the data erasure or destruction in compliance with the highest security standards.

Questions and answers
regarding our services

Can any device be refurbished?

In principle, all end devices such as desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, IP telephones, as well as servers and infrastructure devices like switches are suitable for refurbishing. Ultimately, though, the condition of the device determines whether refurbishing makes sense and whether the device can be reused.

The devices I want to sell are not listed on the website. What can I do?

Use our contact form and send us an inventory list or a screenshot of your appliance list. If you don’t have a list, you can download our enquiry form and fill it out. Our staff will carefully check your enquiry upon receipt.

Why should I have my hardware refurbished by Green IT Solution?

With Green IT Solution, you’re choosing a partner that sets itself apart with sustainable practices – as winner of the German Sustainability Award 2024 – as well as professional expertise and genuine commitment. We communicate with our partners on equal footing and offer secure and certified data erasure.

Will I receive proof of data erasure for the devices?

After the erasure or destruction process is complete, you will receive documentation for each erased or destroyed device based on its unique serial number. This allows you to prove that you have disposed of your devices properly in the event of an external audit.

Can I resell the devices to my own employees after a successful refurbishment?

Yes, with our new YNEW service you can sell the refurbished hardware to your employees. To do this, we create an online employee shop for you and take care of the entire sales process. It’s an employee benefit that also benefits the environment.
