Repurposing IT Devices

Form 10 Group offers a Repair Depot,  our refurbishing  program for customers. Once a customer identifies an IT device that is no longer useable, they send us the device and we immediately send them a replacement device. Our technicians  purchase needed parts, manufacture obsolete parts using our 3D printer, and repair the  nonworking device in order to extend the life of the device.

Repurposing Wooden Pallets

Form 10 frequently receives equipment that is shipped in wooden  pallets, over 70% of which are repurposed as shelving for our warehouse or bottom support boards for our shipments. The rest of the pallets are donated to our community. Form 10 repurposes and average of 28,800 pounds of IT equipment and pallets annually.

 

Green Shipping

Form 10 proudly offers green shipping options to our customers. Our technicians carefully place electronic devices in protective pouches that use an environmentally safe, 100% recyclable foaming material. Technicians then place the devices in reusable plastic containers for shipment and delivery.

Carpooling

At Form 10, we encourage our employees to take advantage of our carpool initiative. Currently 30% of employees carpool, saving an average of 53,000 miles (85,000 kilometers) per year and helping to reduce our carbon footprint.
