## Why does my environmental impact data vary over time?

Your environmental impact data may change due to updates in the energy mix of data center locations, adjustments to PUE, or enhancements in our calculation methodology. These updates ensure that your reports reflect the most accurate and up-to-date information, enhancing transparency and trust in our reporting system.

## Is hardware equipment recycled at Scaleway?

Scaleway is committed to responsible hardware recycling practices.

All equipment is thoroughly tested in our data centers and repaired whenever possible, with a notable example being the testing of over 45,000 disks in 2024, resulting in a reuse rate of nearly 30%.

For equipment that cannot be repaired, we partner with [Loxy](https://www.loxy.fr/about), a company specializing in the collection, recycling, and reuse of electronic waste.

To ensure transparency and accountability, certificates of treatment or reconditioning are obtained for each batch processed, and our approach is aligned with the European WEEE directive and the internal standards of the Iliad group.

Furthermore, Scaleway maintains rigorous monitoring and reporting procedures, submitting declarations to the relevant state authorities through the [Trackdéchets](https://trackdechets.beta.gouv.fr/) platform.
