Together, we can make IT equipment circular. The following steps from the Utrecht Sustainability Institute’s 10R model for circularity all contribute to this.
Together, we can explore what is the best solution for your organisation.
Rethink: we offer more sustainable alternatives in terms of product and service.
Reduce: we reduce the amount of e-waste through lifetime extension and Device as a Service. You can also rent the hardware you need from us instead of buying it. This contributes to a longer lifespan through regular upgrades and for responsible reuse and recycling. Read more
Reuse: we make IT equipment ready for use again so another colleague can use it.
Repair: we can repair IT equipment and replace parts.
Refurbish: we recondition and resell used IT equipment.
Remanufacture: we recover parts, which can be given a second life.
Repurpose: we help give used devices a second life at a charity. Read more
Recycle: we ensure that materials from old IT hardware are recycled responsibly, recovering raw materials.
Recover: we work with partners who process residual streams in a safe way, recovering energy.
We offer solutions that can be adapted and extended as needed, for example when our working habits change, such as when you start working from home. We do this by providing you with IT equipment that is configured and ready to use.
The crucial role of hard drive destruction and data deletion
For businesses, it's crucial to ensure the safe disposal of data at the end of hardware's life cycle. Simply 'deleting' data is a myth; real data security demands professional hard drive destruction or data erasure. Circular IT group's data destruction service offers a complete and environmentally friendly solution, including the option for secure data removal while preserving the hardware. Protect your company from data breaches and comply with privacy laws with the assurance of thorough data destruction.
The cradle-to-grave KPI for end-user computing measures the environmental impact of digital devices throughout their life cycle, from manufacturing to disposal. By extending the lifespan of devices and choosing devices with a lower carbon footprint, organizations can reduce their environmental impact.
In 2025, most larger companies will have to apply the new rules for corporate sustainability in their reporting for fiscal 2024. Chief Information Officers play a critical role in making ESG (enterprise, social, governance) tangible. CIOs must act as Climate Impact Officers.
