Circular economy
Sustainability you can hand over in numbers
Most of a laptop's emissions come from production, not use. Every device given a second life outweighs almost any efficiency measure in the data centre. We make that effect measurable for your project.
- Reuse rate per project
- Avoided CO₂e
- Recovery rate
Why reuse outweighs recycling by far
For IT hardware, most of the carbon footprint sits in manufacturing: raw materials, semiconductor fabrication, assembly and global transport. Use over several years contributes comparatively little. The consequence: replacing a device earlier is only environmentally sound if the old device is then actually reused.
Recycling saves material, not embodied value. It never replaces the effect of a device working for another user for three more years. That's why our order is fixed: whole-device reuse, then components, then materials.
Core statement
The most sustainable device is the one still running
Our job isn't to recycle as much as possible — it's to need to recycle as little as possible. Every reuse rate we raise improves your metrics and your return at the same time.
Reporting
Metrics that fit your report
Reuse rate
Share of devices returning to use as whole units — the key indicator for circularity.
Avoided CO₂e
Calculated emission avoidance from reuse instead of new production, assumptions disclosed.
Recovery rate
Share of mass materially recovered, by fraction.
WEEE mass
Kilograms handed over as e-waste, with evidence from the licensed facility.
Social impact
Not every device has to be sold
Educational institutions
Schools and training projects have ongoing demand for working workstations. We prepare devices ready to use.
Non-profits
Handover to social organisations with evidence of recipient and quantity, suitable for your CSR reporting.
Employee purchase
The channel with the highest reuse rate: devices go to people who actually use them. See the programme
