Every year, global CO₂ emissions from IT increase rapidly. At the same time, we have set global goals together to reduce total CO₂ emissions to zero by 2050.
Extending the lifespan
The production of computers, laptops, and servers, generates a lot of CO₂ emissions. One way to reduce them is to extend their lifetime. If we use IT equipment for longer, we need to produce less of it. This is better for the environment because it consumes fewer raw materials and energy. Refurbished IT equipment is used equipment that has been reconditioned and restored to a good condition, extending its lifespan. It is often much cheaper and more durable than new hardware.
