Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Ondernemen (MVO)

Convert the value of unused/discarded laptops, smartphones, monitors, etc. into vouchers from the Back in Use webshop and make a positive impact.

You can donate these vouchers to the charity or organisation of your choice! This way, you contribute to sustainable reuse and a good cause.

Trade in your old computer or mobile phone for a new patch of nature reserve in Wallonia.

It’s currently estimated that only 1-2% of mobile phones are recycled or reused. For IT equipment the figure is 48%. We can do better!

In collaboration with Natagora, Out of Use organises a large-scale IT equipment collection campaign targeting businesses and organisations in Brussels and Wallonia. Do you have any mobiles, smartphones, tablets, laptops, computers or servers you no longer use? Donate them to Natagora and support nature.

For every PC, laptop or server, Natagora buys 4 m² of nature reserve. But even 4 smartphones/mobile phones, tablets or hard drives are enough for 2 m² of newly purchased nature reserve.

Wherever possible, we are happy to work with sheltered and social workshops.

This cooperation enables us to give work to people who cannot easily find a place in the 'regular' employment circuit.

As a customer of Out Of Use, you play an active part in the employment of these people. What is more, they do this work very well.

How exactly does this work? We provide them with viable dismantling tasks with well-defined guidelines and a clear task order. In turn, they ensure high-quality processing and performance.

A productive social and civic partnership!
