Turn your equipment into more woodland and nature in Belgium

We all like to enjoy the beauty of nature around us: to walk in, to exercise, or simply to relax. In Belgium, we could do with even more nature! Giving your equipment to Out of Use means it can be transformed into more woodland and nature reserves in Flanders and Wallonia. You receive a transparent overview of the extra nature you’ve created, and can even come and plant it if you wish.

digitale inclusie out of use

Improving digital inclusion in Belgium together

Digital inequalities in Belgium bring the threat of social and economic exclusion. Your old but still functional laptops and PCs are immensely valuable in resolving this problem. Our ‘Share-IT’ campaign works to bring your equipment, refurbished and clean of data, to people in need.

Help us close the digital gap

Giving purpose, each and every day

With a sustainable vision and circular mindset, we try to maximise the value of each and every product. That may be in its existing form, or in another application, or ultimately as recoverable raw materials for new equipment. We are convinced of the social importance of what we do, and are really proud of our positive entrepreneurship. We welcome every customer who believes in our approach and our aims, and together we put all our energy into working for a sustainable future.

Get your report on CO2emissions avoided

Re-use and recycling are both part of the circular economy, where value is maximised by looking at ways to reuse first the products, then the parts and finally the raw materials. An additional and very important advantage of this is the substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) compared with the use of newly mined ores. If you’ve delivered you equipment to Out of Use, ask us for your report on the CO2 emissions avoided.
