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.

Sustainability and waste management regulations are getting tighter, especially in the European Union. By making your IT circular, you not only stay compliant with the latest legislation, but you’re also ready for any future changes to the law. No need to worry about potential fines, legal fees and reputational damage. It also makes you more attractive to customers and employees who are committed to sustainability.
