\ud83d\udcaa The true power of wLw<\/strong>

We do something good for the environment and society. But just because we are an association does not mean that we compromise on safety and professionalism. Here we show our core work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Where does processing begin?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Actually, directly on collection. For example, an initial document is created for each donation receipt, which records the quantity of devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd37 What is a confirmation of receipt? <\/strong>

This document is a confirmation that we have received goods. It forms part of the overall Deletion documentation<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appliances then find their way to us in a secure transporter or in sealed and tracked crates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as the appliances arrive at our premises, a new routine check is carried out. The appliances are then stored in an additionally secured area until further processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What happens next?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now each appliance goes through various work steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udff7\ufe0f 1 Inventory and preparation<\/strong><\/span><\/div>
Here, each appliance is given a clear and unambiguous allocation and is inspected for the first time. The first cleaning work is also carried out in this step.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\ud83e\uddfc 2. data deletion<\/strong><\/span><\/div>
Then it's time to get down to business. All data is deleted here, regardless of whether it has already been removed by the donor or not - because we always want to make sure that everything is gone. If a hard drive cannot be deleted, it is destroyed.

More information -> Data deletion<\/strong><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f 3. Testing and repairs<\/strong><\/span><\/div>
On the basis of comprehensive Quality controls<\/strong><\/a> various device parameters are read out and tested - such as health data from hard drives, batteries and other components. If something needs to be replaced, this is done here.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\u2705 4. categorisation and storage<\/strong><\/span><\/div>
Once a device has passed all our tests, it is ready for further use. It is allocated a place in the warehouse and our system knows which requirements this appliance can be used for. It can now remain in a storage cabinet until it is dispatched.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd37 How is a device then used? <\/strong>

You can find out on this page -> Pass on laptops<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
