A More Sustainable Approach to Workplace IT
Every device has an environmental impact, from the resources used to manufacture and deliver it to the energy it consumes and what happens when it is eventually replaced. Taking a smarter approach to that lifecycle more carefully can make workplace IT more sustainable while helping organisations get more value from the technology they already own.
DTP helps you take a more considered approach to your device estate. That can mean extending the useful life of equipment rather than replacing it unnecessarily, finding a second life for devices that are no longer needed, and making sure end-of-life technology is securely and responsibly recycled.
Through our IT Asset Disposal service and DTP Zero initiatives, we can help you reduce waste, recover value from legacy equipment and address the environmental impact of your workplace technology.
IT Asset Disposal
When workplace technology is no longer needed, disposal doesn’t automatically mean recycling. Many devices still have useful life and residual value, creating an opportunity to reuse or remarket equipment before recycling becomes necessary.
Our IT Asset Disposal service manages that process from collection onwards. Devices are securely tracked and data sanitised before being assessed for reuse, remarketing or responsible recycling, helping keep technology and valuable materials in circulation for longer.
Where equipment can be remarketed, we help you recover its remaining value, which can be put towards your next technology investment. For assets that can’t be reused, we make sure they’re recycled responsibly, with the reporting and documentation you need to understand what happened to your equipment.
DTP take a more circular approach to refreshing your device estate, helping reduce electronic waste while protecting your data and getting more value from technology at the end of its first life.

DTP Zero
Every laptop, desktop and workstation has a carbon footprint that extends beyond the energy it uses day to day. Manufacturing, transportation and use all contribute to the overall environmental impact of your device estate.
DTP Zero Compute helps organisations address the carbon emissions associated with their end-user devices. The programme can cover devices over a flexible three, four or five-year period, giving you a practical way to incorporate carbon reduction and offsetting into your workplace technology strategy.
As part of the programme, DTP supports tree planting at Tom’s Wood, a new native woodland in York. The project is designed to capture more than 14,000 tonnes of CO₂e as it grows, while also creating new habitats, improving biodiversity and strengthening connections between existing woodland.
DTP Zero Compute can sit alongside wider measures such as extending device lifecycles and responsible IT Asset Disposal, giving you another way to address the environmental impact of your workplace technology.

Why Partner With DTP Group?
Making workplace IT more sustainable takes more than choosing energy-efficient devices. DTP can help you consider the environmental impact of technology throughout its lifecycle, from how long devices remain in use to what happens when they are eventually retired.
Sustainability is also something we take seriously within our own business. DTP has sent zero waste to landfill since 2019, holds ISO 14001 accreditation and has set a target to become carbon neutral by 2035.
Keep Technology in Use for Longer: We take a circular approach to workplace IT, helping you extend device lifecycles and prioritise reuse and remarketing before responsible recycling. Our ITAD services can also provide asset-level reporting to help evidence the environmental impact of those decisions.
Turn Sustainability Goals Into Action: From responsible IT Asset Disposal to DTP Zero Compute, we provide practical ways to reduce waste and address the environmental impact of your device estate, backed by our experience and partnerships with HP and HPE Financial Services.
Case Studies
-
De Montfort University
DTP helped De Montfort University modernise its multi-campus IT estate, introducing centralised device management and greater visibility across around 8,500 devices. The solution supported a smooth transition to Windows 11, reduced hardware support demands and enabled the university to right-size its technology estate for improved performance, efficiency and long-term scalability.

Liverpool John Moores University joins circular economy
DTP helped Liverpool John Moores University turn end-of-life IT into a secure and sustainable circular process. Working with HPE Financial Services, legacy servers and network equipment were securely collected, sanitised, refurbished and remarketed, freeing valuable campus space while generating financial returns that could be reinvested into student support.
