    • Recycle your product

    Sercel aims to reduce its environmental impact (and avoid transportation). In this regard, if any equipment that you have sent to Sercel under the RMA (Repair/Maintenance) process turns out to be "non-repairable", we now offer to destroy it locally. A certificate of destruction will be issued for each equipment.

    If you have a problem with an equipment supplied by Sercel and wish to destroy it outside of the RMA process, you can contact our service centers according to your location to obtain the contact information of our local partners:
