Most business laptops are replaced every three to four years, but producing just one requires around 1,200 kg of metal-rich earth and nearly 200,000 litres of water. It’s time to rethink how we use and replace IT equipment to reduce our environmental impact.
Calculate how much you will save
The productive life of well-designed modern devices is six years, but many companies replace them after only three years. 80% of the carbon footprint of a laptop is related to production. Each year thereafter is practically carbon-neutral. So, extending the lifecycle of IT equipment to more than three or four years is a no-brainer. Prolonging it up to six years is a score for people and planet alike.
