Section Background

A New Sustainable Initiative – Circular Computing

In order to align our services to the needs of our customers, and to be a pioneer within our own sector, we have elected to become an ITAD Partner of Circular Computing™.

Circular Computing™ remanufacture old enterprise-grade, leading-brand laptops and give them a new lease of life.

The considerable carbon, water and mineral footprint of a ‘new’ computer are avoided through the second life of a remanufactured laptop.

Read more about our initiative below, including the results of our recent survey.

 

Section Background
Just One Remanufactured Laptop Makes A World Of Difference

10 Trees Planted Per Laptop For Our Reforestation Partnerships

Through our support of reforestation projects, we aim to plant trees in multiple locations across the world. Every laptop delivered through partnership with Circular Computing™ plants 10 trees by the time it reaches its next home.

1,200 KG of Sequestered Carbon Emissions

By being part of the reforestation initiative which helps cool the planet, and remove CO2 from the atmosphere, your old laptop is the catalyst for this climate benefit as each tree removes 120KgCO2eq. in the first 20 years.

316 KG of Carbon Reduction

Every remanufactured laptop prevents approximately 316kg of CO2 emissions by not buying new. For just 1,000 laptops, that’s the same as taking over 80 cars off the road for a year.

1,200 kg of Resources Preserved

Using a remanufactured laptop avoids the mining of valuable precious minerals needed to manufacture a new laptop.

 

98% of all e-waste can be recycled.

Currently only 20% of the worlds e-waste is recycled, with the remainder ending up in landfill.

Our goal is zero landfill.
