Are shredded SSDs recycled?
Yes. All SSD shredding services provided by X Recycling meet GDPR and UK data protection requirements. Each device is securely destroyed, and full audit documentation is issued, allowing your organisation to demonstrate responsible and compliant data disposal practices.
Do you provide certificates of destruction?
Yes. All SSD components are recycled responsibly after shredding, minimising environmental impact. X Recycling ensures sustainable disposal while complying with environmental regulations, supporting your business’s commitment to eco-friendly practices and responsible IT asset management.
Can SSD shredding be done on-site?
Yes. We offer both on-site and off-site SSD shredding options. On-site shredding allows you to witness the destruction process, ensuring maximum transparency and security while maintaining full chain-of-custody control.
Is SSD shredding GDPR compliant?
Yes. Certificates of Destruction are provided for every SSD shredded, along with detailed audit reports. These documents confirm the secure destruction method, device details, and quantities, supporting compliance, internal governance, and regulatory requirements.
Why must SSDs be physically shredded?
SSDs cannot be fully erased using software due to the nature of flash memory. Physical shredding is required to permanently destroy stored data, ensuring it is irrecoverable and protecting your organisation from potential breaches or data misuse.
