Successfully Managing the Project Without Disrupting Operations
After careful consideration, INEOS Grangemouth decided to partner with SK tes, a leading IT asset disposition (ITAD) company. SK tes offered a comprehensive solution that included secure transportation, data erasure, repurposing, and environmentally responsible disposal at their own ITAD and recycling facility in Scotland.
INEOS Grangemouth were looking for a solution for clearing a large quantity of outdated IT equipment stored across their extensive 1,700 acre site. SK tes provided that solution. SK tes was easily able to manage the project at scale, scheduling regular collections and safely handling the removal and processing of a range of enterprise IT equipment. 
With a strong safety culture at the Grangemouth site, prior to the commencement of the six-week program of work, SK tes arranged for three team members to complete the extensive Grangemouth site induction and necessary security checks. SK tes attended the site, at regular intervals, deploying the appropriate staff, equipment, and vehicles, ensuring that work was undertaken safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
SK tes securely transported the equipment to their nearby Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF) for environmentally responsible processing and disposal. Working with SK tes, INEOS Grangemouth was assured that their redundant IT equipment was disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, and in compliance with regulations.
