Solutions for more sustainable IT
Electronic waste is the fastest-growing waste stream globally, yet it holds significant value through the minerals and metals found in used IT products. Atea, as one of Europe’s leading IT infrastructure providers, supports businesses in making responsible, circular choices by promoting reuse, recycling, repair, and upgrades of IT equipment. This approach not only extends the life of technology and reduces the need for new production but also helps organizations lower their environmental impact, cut costs, and prepare for future regulations. We support our clients in achieving a secure and sustainable IT lifecycle by helping to strike the right balance between reuse and recycling, ensuring environmental responsibility without compromising data protection.
Sustainable lifecycle management is a strategic approach to managing digital devices responsibly throughout their entire lifespan. Rather than being a single service, it involves planning, evaluating, and prioritizing every stage, from procurement to end-of-use. The focus is on balancing cost, environmental impact, and productivity.
Our unique strategy helps businesses gain control over their IT assets, reduce complexity, and transition to a circular model that supports reuse, recycling, and extended product life. This approach not only promotes responsible resource use and recovery of valuable materials but also strengthens long-term sustainability and operational efficiency.
Life Cycle Management is about:
- Responsible management of the earth's resources
- Reward quality and ensure maximum product lifespan
- Recycling of valuable metals and components
The lifecycle of a device includes several crucial steps. With an effective plan and strategy for each step, you can optimize the return on investment, get the most out of the equipment in your organization, and also ensure that it has an extended life after your use. Atea works with a model where we offer the entire industry's range with the best mix of lead times, price, and efficient transportation. We have a close and strong collaboration with the industry's leading manufacturers and distributors, which gives us a unique opportunity to offer the market's best selection.
What if the IT equipment that you think is obsolete could be given a new life somewhere else? What if someone could make it easy, safe and with consideration for the environment?
Goitloop is a circular IT take-back service that offers a simple, secure, and sustainable way to manage used IT equipment. Devices returned through Goitloop are securely wiped, assessed for condition, and either reused or responsibly recycled. This process not only extends the life of technology and reduces environmental impact but can also generate financial value and support the acquisition of new equipment. After each completed loop, businesses receive a climate report highlighting the environmental savings achieved through reuse and recycling – making sustainable IT management both practical and impactful.
Customised loops for your needs
Goitloop is available in several sizes and variants. Whether you only have a few devices, or the entire organization’s devices are to be reclaimed, there is a choice for you.
In our eShop you can easily choose the loop that is most suitable for your organization.
How the service works:
- Ordering is carried out via Atea eShop.
- We provide a secure cabinet.
- You put in the equipment you want to return.
- Transport takes place to our logistics center.
- We erase, value and clean the devices.
- What can be given new life is sold on. The rest is recycled.
- You get money back for the reused devices and the climate savings are shown in your climate report.

ONE for Good
As the leading IT company in the Nordics and the Baltics, Atea has great opportunities and a clear social responsibility. For more than twenty years, sustainability has been part of our foundation, and with ONE for Good, we are now taking this work to a new level.
A large portion of today’s IT products is never recycled but ends up at the bottom of a drawer. There, they quickly lose value, and expensive minerals go to waste. Imagine if we could, together, change that and use retired, discarded, and used IT equipment to do something good?

Atea is the world’s most sustainable IT services company
Atea is the most sustainable company in the category of IT services, according to the Global 100 index published by the Toronto-based research firm Corporate Knights in 2026. This makes Atea a leader in the industry and number 92 in the overall global ranking.
