Our Core Services
Certified IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) and Lifecycle Services across the UK – from secure data destruction to redeployment and resale. Astralis helps you protect data, reduce risk, and maximise value.
IT Asset Disposal (ITAD)
Secure, compliant disposal of end-of-life IT equipment, including asset collection, auditing, certified erasure or destruction, resale, and environmentally responsible processing.
What sets Astralis apart is our Triple E Strategy – Essential, Enhanced, and Elite – a flexible, tiered service model designed to align with your compliance needs, budget, and sustainability goals. Whether you need minimal compliance or complete lifecycle control, we tailor our ITAD services to fit.
Certified Data Destruction & Erasure
We follow NIST 800-88 as a baseline for secure data erasure, going further by embedding controls aligned with ISO 27001. Using industry leading erasure software, we provide verifiable erasure with audit reporting and full chain-of-custody. For non-functional drives, we offer physical destruction. All services comply fully with GDPR and UK Data Protection Law.
IT Lifecycle Services
From initial inventory and redeployment through to logistics, secure data handling, and end-of-life processing, our lifecycle services are designed to support every stage of your IT estate. We simplify your operations, reduce environmental impact, and create opportunities for asset reuse, resale, and ESG reporting — all while keeping compliance front and centre.
Sustainability & ESG Reporting
We support your ESG goals with a reuse-first approach that prioritises redeployment, remarketing, and responsible recycling. Our resale model allows you to share in the revenue recovered from valuable assets, while our reporting provides full transparency on environmental impact — including detailed reuse tracking, diversion from landfill, and CO₂ savings where available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ITAD and why is it important?
IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) is the secure and environmentally responsible process of decommissioning and disposing of end-of-life IT equipment. It’s important because improperly handled devices pose significant data security, compliance, and environmental risks. A certified ITAD provider like Astralis ensures that your assets are safely collected, tracked, and processed, with data erased or destroyed, resale value recovered, and environmental impact minimised — all while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
How does Astralis ensure GDPR compliance?
Astralis ensures GDPR compliance by embedding data protection principles into every stage of the IT asset disposal process. We follow NIST 800-88 standards for data erasure and enhance them with controls aligned to ISO 27001. Our entire service delivery is governed by strict policies for access control, audit logging, incident response, and secure logistics. Every client receives full chain-of-custody documentation and certificates of data erasure or destruction, ensuring full transparency and legal accountability under UK and EU data protection law.
What’s the difference between data destruction and data erasure?
Data destruction is the physical shredding or dismantling of a data-bearing device so that the data can never be recovered. Data erasure, on the other hand, uses certified software to overwrite data to a standard that meets regulatory requirements — allowing the device to be reused or resold. At Astralis, we use industry leading software to perform NIST-compliant erasure and provide verifiable audit reports. If erasure isn’t possible or fails, we move the device immediately to physical destruction.
Do you offer resale value for used IT assets?
Yes. Astralis operates a transparent resale model that allows clients to benefit from the residual value of their IT assets. We assess all incoming equipment for redeployment or resale potential, securely erase the data, and remarket the items via trusted channels. Where agreed, we offer revenue sharing models, enabling you to offset costs, contribute to ESG targets, or reinvest funds into your organisation’s IT or sustainability initiatives.
What certifications does Astralis hold?
Astralis is certified to the highest UK and international standards for quality, security, and environmental management. Our certifications include:
– ISO 27001 – Information Security Management
– ISO 9001 – Quality Management
– ISO 14001 – Environmental Management

– Social Value Quality Mark – Independent social value verification
