What econyx does

Econyx B.V. is a Dutch IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) company headquartered in Amsterdam with warehouse operations in Almere, founded in 2017 and originating from Qualified Remarketing B.V. The company operates a circular IT lifecycle platform that purchases decommissioned corporate hardware, performs certified data destruction, refurbishes equipment, and resells it through an international remarketing channel. It serves more than 1,000 customers across the Benelux and broader European markets, with named clients spanning retail (Gamma, Action, Krefel), telecommunications (KPN), healthcare (AZ Oostende), education (AP Hogeschool Antwerpen, ROC Noorderpoort), and professional services (Grant Thornton).

The technical stack is operations-led rather than software-led: certified erasure and physical destruction per DIN 66399, ISO 9001/ISO 27001 quality and information security accreditation, GDPR/HIPAA/NEN 7510 compliance for healthcare clients, and a proprietary CO2 calculator co-developed with Inrego that quantifies avoided emissions per device. Econyx couples the processing line with a Trees for All reforestation program and a "Go Circular" corporate offering that bundles takeback, reporting, and charity donation.

The commercial model is transaction-based: revenue is generated through buyback spreads on retired assets, refurbished hardware sales, and processing fees that are often partially or fully offset by residual resale value. Customer acquisition is direct, supported by sustainability reporting and ESG positioning rather than a software platform; the company publishes operational KPIs such as 150,000+ products reused and trees planted (figures range from approximately 10,766 to 31,000 across sources), while no headcount, revenue or funding data is disclosed.

Revenue model

1. IT Asset Purchase and Remarketing: Econyx purchases decommissioned IT hardware from organizations, processes it through certified data destruction, and remarkets it through their international network. Revenue is generated from the margin between purchase price paid to clients and resale value achieved.
2. ITAD Processing Services: Full-service ITAD processing including logistics, certified data destruction, testing, classification, and reporting. Costs are often offset by the residual value recovered from the hardware.
3. Refurbished IT Hardware Sales: Sale of refurbished IT equipment (laptops, desktops, servers, network equipment) to organizations looking to purchase second-life hardware at lower cost than new.

Core offering

Econyx provides end-to-end IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services for organizations retiring IT hardware, including purchasing decommissioned equipment, certified data destruction (data wiping and physical destruction), secure logistics, refurbishment, and resale of refurbished hardware through an international remarketing network. The offering is bundled with a circularity program that includes CO2 savings reporting and optional Trees for All reforestation, charity donation, and Go Circular add-ons to support clients' ESG and CSR objectives.

Product overview

Econyx offers a comprehensive ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) service portfolio built around three pillars: purchasing decommissioned IT hardware from organizations, supplying refurbished IT hardware to organizations, and sustainability programs. The core offering combines the ITAD Program (complete end-to-end asset disposition including logistics, data destruction, remarketing, and reporting) with Data Destruction services (certified erasure and physical destruction). Supporting this are the Circularity Program for sustainability tracking and the CO2 Calculator for measuring environmental impact. The Supply side offers Personal Computing (refurbished laptops and desktops) and IT Infrastructure (refurbished servers and network equipment). Optional add-on programs include Trees for All (reforestation donations) and Charities (donations to social causes), which allow organizations to donate residual value to environmental or social projects with Econyx adding a 10% contribution.

Direct peers

• Inrego: Swedish ITAD and refurbished-IT provider and the named methodology partner for Econyx's CO2 calculator. Operates the same buy-process-remarket model with a parallel sustainability angle, making it the closest comparable in size and positioning.
• 3StepIT: Nordic-headquartered IT lifecycle services provider offering asset disposition, leasing, and managed device services to enterprises. Direct competitor for European ITAD and end-of-life contracts of the kind Econyx wins in Benelux.
• GreenIT: Belgium-headquartered circular IT and ITAD provider serving similar enterprise and public-sector buyers in the Benelux region. Overlaps with Econyx on refurbished hardware resale and certified data destruction.
• Wisetek: Ireland-based global ITAD, data destruction, and electronics-recycling services firm. Comparable mid-market player with a similar buy/remarketed model and strong regulated-data positioning.
• Circular Computing: UK-based remanufacturer of enterprise-grade refurbished laptops with a strong ESG and net-zero narrative. Comparable on the supply-side refurbished product offering that Econyx also delivers to enterprise buyers.
• Apto Solutions: US-headquartered ITAD, mobile, and enterprise-refurbishment provider. Operates a similar end-to-end disposition + remarketing model targeting enterprise and channel buyers.
• BBnet: Nordic ITAD and refurbished-IT operator with a similar enterprise focus and sustainability angle. Comparable mid-market European peer with overlapping buyer profiles and go-to-market motion.

Broad incumbents

• Iron Mountain: Global information-management and ITAD incumbent with extensive data-destruction and asset-disposition capabilities. Competes for the same regulated, multi-site enterprise ITAD mandates, but offers a far broader portfolio beyond ITAD.
• Sims Lifecycle Services: Global e-waste and ITAD arm of Sims Limited, serving enterprise clients with data destruction, remarketing, and certified recycling. Wider geographic reach than Econyx with overlap on regulated disposal work.
• Ingram Micro ITAD: Global IT distribution giant with a dedicated IT asset disposition practice. Competes for the disposal side of the same enterprise refresh cycle Econyx serves, with greater scale and distribution muscle.
