Recovery, a forgotten industrial lever
Rarely activated potential
Every year, equipment remains in storage, unused because there is no clear way of disposing of it. Too complex to resell, too specific to be easily reused, they accumulate.At Axitest, we transform this equipment into a margin for action. Takeover becomes a concrete industrial lever: to free up space, lighten the books, and speed up decisions without immobilising what still has value.
And because reused equipment is also a resource that is not wasted, this reflex is part of a circular intelligence that is more sober and more efficient.
It's free
No hidden costs. Removal, transport and compliance are fully covered by Axitest.
Lean stock
No more full cupboards and inactive equipment. Each trade-in frees up space, takes the clutter out of technical areas and avoids letting industrial value go to waste.
Reinjected budgets
Taking over means transforming inactive stock into room for manoeuvre. The credit generated becomes budgetary leverage, which can be reused immediately and without additional expenditure.
Optimised cycle
Taking back equipment means avoiding unnecessary immobilisation or passive storage. It's all about sensible use, for a controlled industrial cycle that's optimised over time.
Simplified monitoring
A single point of contact, a clear process. Axitest takes care of evaluation, collection and follow-up, without extending your deadlines or mobilising your internal teams.
Guaranteed traceability
Each stage of the recovery is documented. You receive a clear report, useful for your internal audits or regulatory obligations. Transparency is part of the service.
Reforestation in practice
Each trade-in finances the planting of trees in a verified reforestation project via Tree-Nation. A traceable action, integrated into a more sober industrial logic.
Local social impact
Equipment that is not put back on the market is recycled by Ateliers Sans Frontières. A concrete action for employment and reintegration, here in France.
HOW IT WORKS :
01
Buy
You send us the list of equipment to be taken back. We assess their value and organise the logistics. No costs, no commitments. You remain the decision-maker every step of the way.
02
Control
The equipment is received and tested according to strict protocols. This sorting process guarantees the conformity of the equipment returned to circulation, and directs the others to the appropriate recycling channel.
03
Valuation
Each trade-in generates a credit note valid for 12 months, which can be used on one or more occasions, on all our services. There's no minimum: you activate it whenever you want, on whatever you need.
04
New life
The equipment finds a useful use: end customer, rental, or spare parts. You receive a clear, traceable report that can be used for audit purposes or internal communication.
Our concrete actions
A useful decision for every recovery
Each trade-in can fund a reforestation project. Tree-Nation, an international forestation platform, allows you to choose the species, the country, the environmental impact, and to monitor the project online at any time.A nominative certificate is issued in your company's name, showing the number of trees planted and the CO₂ footprint avoided.You choose: turn everything into a credit, convert everything into a plantation, or allocate according to your priorities.
It's measurable, traceable, compatible with carbon audits, and can be incorporated into your CSR reports and calls for tender.
A technical end of life with human value
Equipment that cannot be repaired is entrusted to Ateliers Sans Frontières, a social integration organisation in the ARES group.They are dismantled in France, piece by piece, according to their condition, in compliance with approved processing channels.Each job creates an employment opportunity for people on the path to reintegration.In this way, you give a second use to unusable equipment, while supporting the circular economy, local employment and a more responsible industrial approach.
