What we do
Enable adopts a Circular Economy approach to IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) Services, with a strong commitment to ethical and safe recycling, repurposing, repairing, re-commissioning and retailing as affordable tech to assist those in need.
Enable holds accreditation under AS/NZS 5377:2013 Management of E-Waste standard for collection, storage, transport, data sanitisation, treatment, refurbishment, and re-marketing of end-of-life waste. External audits and certification occur yearly, with full re-certification required every 3 years.
We measures our impact in the context of both the local need for employability skills and jobs for disadvantaged jobseekers as well as how our Social Procurement Customers contribute to our mission and the overall United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Through our Circular Tech approach, we also give tech another life as well as distribute great quality affordable tech across Australia to those most in need via our Affordable Tech shop.
