About

We didn't study ITAD.
We ran it.

Returna was born inside Scandic IT — one of Scandinavia's leading IT asset disposal providers. After years of building processes by hand, we realized the industry needed software, not more spreadsheets.

From operations floor to platform

250 million corporate devices leave company control every year. Most of this is handled by fragmented local vendors, manual coordination, and a lot of email.

We lived this. At Scandic IT, we processed thousands of devices for enterprises across Scandinavia. We built internal tools to manage the chaos. Those tools became Returna.

Today, Returna is the global execution layer that the ITAD industry has been missing — a neutral platform that orchestrates, standardises, proves, and settles IT end-of-life execution across enterprises, contractors, and logistics providers worldwide.

2007

What drives us

Execution over theory

Every feature exists because someone needed it in a real processing facility. We build what works.

Neutrality

Returna is the orchestration layer, not a competitor. We enable Return Hubs — we don't replace them.

Transparency

Flat platform fees. Clear audit trails. No hidden margins. Trust is built through clarity.

We're raising our seed round

5M DKK to build the engineering team, achieve ISO 27001, and scale globally. Interested?
