The shredder for sensitive data

Shredders are available not only for paper, but also for electronic devices. SafeRec, the specialist in data destruction, has developed a powerful solution for SMEs and private customers in conjunction with Swiss Post.

When a computer gives up the ghost, it should be disposed of properly. Private individuals can simply take their old devices to the nearest electronics dealer, although they may sometimes be putting sensitive data in unauthorized hands.

Data misuse ruled out

But when Swiss Post has a hand in it, the disposal of electrical waste is confidential, secure and environmentally friendly: we accept the packaged devices at the post office counter and forward them to our Pratteln logistics center, where SafeRec destroys the equipment with a shredder and recycles the raw materials. The scrap products leave Swiss Post only for recycling.

The yellow trust bonus

SafeRec offers secure and permanent destruction for private individuals, SMEs and municipalities. After all, companies also produce electronic waste which should be disposed of professionally. “Our customers want a guarantee that nobody can tamper with the data on their devices,” says Andi Heller, Director of SafeRec AG. “Thanks to Swiss Post, we can offer that certainty.”

Close to customers

The disposal of an electrical device begins in SafeRec’s online shop, which was developed under Swiss Post’s direction. This is also where the disposal cost is paid. E-payment is provided by Swiss Post. Where needed, SafeRec customers also receive packaging materials for shipping from the fully automated YellowCube warehouse. The parcel then goes to the nearest post office along with the order confirmation. “No other logistics provider has such a dense network of acceptance points,” says Andi Heller. “This is crucial to the success of our business model. And with Swiss Post, I get all services from a single source.”
