Hard Drive
Deleted information on data carriers such as storage systems, HD, DVD, CD and magnetic tapes are not actually physically deleted!
ABOUT US
World Leading And Large Recycling Management
Repairing is recycling! The best way to ensure that as few electronics as possible end up in landfill is to keep them running for as long as possible. Toxic electronic waste is a global problem that we are working to solve. Repairing things yourself saves money and protects the environment.

Why is mechanical deletion the safest
way to destroy data?
Deleted information on data carriers such as storage systems, HD , DVD , CD and magnetic tapes are not actually physically deleted! As a rule, only the table of contents of the data carrier is destroyed here. The files can be made visible again very easily using recovery tools.
sensitive hard drive data
We destroy sensitive hard drive data reliably and free of charge.
Final data deletion is particularly important for authorities and companies with confidential data. As a professional data recovery company, we know what it takes to destroy data securely and irretrievably.
degausser technology
Using degausser technology (strong demagnetization that permanently destroys the magnetic surface and servo and maintenance information of a hard drive) in accordance with
The DIN 33858 standard or special programs, we carry out an irreversible and reliable data deletion of all data still present on the data storage media. After using the Degausser process, the data carrier is permanently and irretrievably destroyed. Data misuse is therefore ruled out and even data investigators no longer have a chance.
A degausser is a hardware solution for quickly deleting data as well as the maintenance area of a hard drive. Removable magnetic media such as tapes and ZIP drives can also be safely and irretrievably deleted with a degausser. A degausser may not delete the HDD bios or the flash memory on modern hybrid hard drives . In this case, a special logical deletion is needed. This is only possible with access at a technical level and is inaccessible for normal PC operation. Deletion by Degausser also represents another opportunity to extract raw materials.
Electronic waste must not go into the trash can.
The most environmentally friendly form of hard drive destruction is recycling. We remove individual parts and components of the hard drives and can reuse them for our data recovery service - which is why we can offer you this service free of charge. We dispose of the parts for which we no longer have any further use in an environmentally friendly way for scrap metal and raw material recovery.
Methods of data destruction.
Feel free to offer us your old DDR3 RAM: DDR3 RAM is mainly used as main memory in computers. The third generation of this type of memory consists of memory components mounted on a standardized circuit board.
The following procedures are used: Data deletion (secure deletion).

Data destruction by shredder (machine).
The most environmentally friendly form of hard drive destruction is recycling. We remove individual parts and components of the hard drives and can reuse them for our data recovery service - which is why we can offer you this service free of charge. We dispose of the parts for which we no longer have any further use in an environmentally friendly way for scrap metal and raw material recovery.
Disadvantages: High-quality hard drives
Innovative solutions for commercial, institutional and forensic methods
Raw material extraction from hard drives. When shredding a hard drive, extracting raw materials is much more complicated and requires more energy because the valuable metals mix together. An alternative would be to take the hard drive into all its individual parts before shredding and sort the metal. This process is more environmentally friendly and provides better and simpler ways of extracting raw materials.
- We destroy your digital data media using a 2-stage shredding concept.
- The first hard disk shredder shreds the media containing data with so-called normal protection requirements into small strips. The particle sizes for this are 300 – 900 square millimeters. The recommendations of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) specify a particle size of up to 1000 square millimeters after destruction. We call this type of disk destruction – standard service.
- Another data shredder is equipped with a single shaft and a sieve insert. This then ensures that the hard drives are shredded in a second process with a particle size of 225 square millimeters. This is necessary for hard drives with so-called high protection requirements. The BSI recommends a particle size of up to 300 square millimeters. We call this type of data storage medium premium service and it means the safest type of data destruction!
- At the customer's request, we generate even smaller particle sizes with our second shredder and flexible sieve inserts.
- With our different service packages, we remain below the BSI specifications when it comes to data destruction from hard drives.
- We meet the strict requirements of the BSI technical guidelines – TL 03420 version 1.6.
- With this process for the destruction and disposal of data carriers, we also meet the requirements of the BSI-Grundschutz, measure M 2.167, for normal and high protection needs.
- With this destruction process we also meet the international requirements of DIN EN 15713:2009 and the new DIN 66399:2012-06.
- Depending on the type of destruction you want, you will receive a detailed data destruction certificate free of charge according to the standard or premium service with proof of all serial numbers of all destroyed hard drives, as well as an additional recycling certificate for the subsequent waste disposal of the remaining material.
- Strict data security requirements – Reusing your devices is not possible if physical destruction is required
- Confidential Data – That must be physically destroyed
- Redundant, worthless IT equipment – When your equipment is not suitable for reuse, remarketing, resale or component refurbishment
- Prototypes – Physically destroy unique prototypes (so your brand remains competitive, intellectual property security and tax purposes)
- Semiconductor memory and non-magnetic storage devices such as DVDs can only be safely destroyed by shredding
Data destruction
Which data carriers are destroyed? Server hard drives (3.5" single and double height)
PC hard drives (3.5" single and double height)
- Notebook hard drives (2.5" single and double height)
- Magnetic tapes and streamer tapes up to a width of 36.5 cm
- DVDs, CDs, floppy disks, USB sticks
- Electronic storage media, such as E.g.: E-Proms, Flash ROMs, CPUs etc.
- Smart-Phones und Handy´s
- Other data carriers (personal cards, credit cards, bank cards, etc.)
Secure: data destruction
How secure is this type of data destruction?
Our data carrier destruction with our 2-stage shredder concept means 100% mechanical destruction of the entire data carrier and thus ensures that the data can no longer be reproduced.
The serial numbers of the hard drives are tracked using a scanner before shredding and documented on the data destruction certificate with the exact time (hour, minute, second).
Another advantage generated by our data killer software at the customer’s request: magnetic tapes can now also be documented using a serial number on the data destruction certificate.
If additional data storage media have been destroyed, you will also receive the weight information.
In addition, we can offer the option of video surveillance of the entire destruction process. Our mobile vehicle is equipped with a video camera that allows you to follow the destruction in real time and then load the film onto an SD card. After destruction, the film can be given to you with the SD card. The flat rate for this service is available upon request.
Furthermore, through our multiple certification as a qualified recycling company , we confirm that all necessary additional legal regulations are adhered to.
If additional data storage media have been destroyed, you will also receive the weight information.
