Circular Computing

Circular Computing exists to create a more ethical, sustainable and socially responsible way to buy enterprise-grade IT. Our remanufacturing facility holds the world's first and only BSI Kitemark for remanufactured laptops, ensuring quality without compromise. Our Circular Remanufacturing Process creates laptops that are ‘equal to or better than new’. We have also made a change. We are supporting charity: water. From now on, for every laptop we sell, we will provide a family with clean water for a week. Watch now to learn more about how Circular Computing is changing the way we think about technology and giving back to the planet. #CircularComputing #SustainableIT #Remanufacturing

Did you know that #ewaste is the fastest-growing waste stream worldwide? According to the Global E-waste Monitor 2024, our planet is facing a critical challenge with millions of tonnes of electronic devices being discarded every year. The staggering statistics reveal the urgency of the situation: the 62 million tonnes of e-waste generated in 2022 alone would fill 1.55 million 40-tonne trucks, forming a bumper-to-bumper line encircling the equator. We believe in remanufacturing as a key to a #sustainablefuture. By extending the lifespan of products and opting for #sustainableIT products, especially laptops, we're not only protecting our planet but also fostering a #circulareconomy. Make your tech choices count. Find out more about our Circular Remanufacturing Process here: https://lnkd.in/eyXzqRDd #CircularComputing #Sustainability #EwasteAwareness #Remanufacturing

Our #ReEvent2024 brought sustainability and #IT professionals together in a powerful dialogue and collective push for a #greenerfuture. It served as a powerful call to action, fostering sustainability, innovation and shared responsibility. Vildan Demir Soysal, a sustainability leader at DHL, provided an insightful perspective, highlighting remanufacturing as "a significant trend in the realm of laptops and personal computers, driven by a combination of environmental concerns, resource scarcity and economic incentives." She added, "From the logistics point of view, logistics and transportation companies are enablers of circular economy principles in the remanufacturing of laptops and PCs by facilitating the efficient collection, transportation and distribution of used devices and remanufactured products while minimising waste and environmental impact throughout the supply chain." This focus on #remanufacturedlaptops offers a bright future for #sustainableIT: reduced climate impact, tackling #ewaste and promoting a #circulareconomy. #Sustainability #Remanufacturing #DHL

In today's rapidly digitised world, the #ITsector faces an urgent call to action. Dive deeper into these pivotal changes by reading the blog. https://lnkd.in/dbcshwkX CEOs globally are recognising the need for resilience through sustainable practices, with 93% believing sustainability is key to future success, according to the 12th United Nations Global Compact-Accenture CEO Study. This shared vision is propelling the future of Sustainable IT. By 2032, 86% of #ITleaders foresee a significant industry shift, propelled by government backing and enterprise initiatives. This shift transcends #carbonreduction, enhancing brand image, customer trust, and delivering cost savings. Governments are crucial in fostering a circular economy through incentives and policies. Now is the moment for CEOs to champion #sustainability, embedding it into core strategies for enduring success. #SustainableIT #IT #CircularEconomy #ClimateChange

The urgency of the climate crisis demands immediate action on a global scale. Every step towards reducing greenhouse gas #emissions, no matter how small, contributes to a healthier planet. Even buying a laptop has significant impact. Instead of opting for brand new devices, consider the environmentally friendly alternative: #remanufactured laptops. Remanufacturing isn't just about giving used laptops a second chance. It's a meticulous process that transforms pre-owned devices into reliable, high-performance machines that meet rigorous quality standards. A new, peer-reviewed scientific study by Cranfield University has proven that Circular Computing's remanufactured laptops create over 15 times less CO2 compared to a brand new one. Incredibly, that is just 6.34% of the CO2 emissions an average equivalent laptop creates. The next time you need a new laptop, consider the environmentally friendly option.

As the demand for the latest technology continues to surge, so does the global issue of electronic waste. This rapidly expanding digital landfill has become one of the most critical #environmentalchallenges of our time. In this feature for #InternationalEwasteDay, Stephen Haskew, Group Director of Sustainability and Growth at Circular Computing, explores how individuals and businesses in the UK can take actionable steps to mitigate the growing #ewaste crisis. Read the full article here to gain valuable insights and discover practical solutions for addressing this urgent environmental issue. https://lnkd.in/eiC5sRw6 DIGIT.FYI #EwasteDay #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #TechForGood #CircularComputing

As we approach the one-year countdown to the end of support for Windows 10, the looming threat of a massive tech disruption is becoming increasingly real. Stephen Haskew, our Group Director of Sustainability and Growth, has aptly described this event as "The biggest Ctrl-Alt-Delete in history." How does this impact you? If you're still using Windows 10, it's crucial to act soon. Though the system will continue to function, the absence of security updates will expose you to potential cyber threats.

Today is #InternationalEwasteDay. As the world continues its rapid digital transformation, the surge in electronic devices has led to an alarming rise in electronic waste. According to the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Global E-waste Monitor, by 2022, the world generated a staggering 62 billion kg of e-waste, or an average of 7.8 kg per capita. This is the equivalent of 1.55 million trucks filled with e-waste lined up along the Earth's equator. The quantity of #ewaste is expected to rise to 82 billion kg by 2030. Alarmingly, only 22.3% of this e-waste was properly collected and recycled. This imbalance underscores a massive challenge for both the environment and resource sustainability. Technology nearing the end of its initial life cycle holds vast potential for a second life. We believe that #remanufacturing is a cornerstone of a #sustainablefuture. Remanufacturing provides a responsible alternative to landfill disposal. This meticulous process involves restoring and upgrading used devices, extending their lifespan and reducing the demand for virgin raw materials. By adopting a circular economy that prioritises #reuse and #recycling, we can mitigate the environmental impact of e-waste. On this International E-waste Day, let's pledge to adopt #sustainableIT practices that contribute to a positive environmental impact. Because IT shouldn’t cost the Earth. #EwasteDay #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #TechForGood #CircularComputing
