Environment

A circular economy is a system that prioritises the reuse of materials or products over other forms of recycling. For waste electronic equipment and old IT assets a circular economy means we prioritise refurbishment and reuse, minimising the need for new material extraction — and reducing environmental damage caused by mining and poor recycling practices.

In today’s fast-paced business environment, keeping IT equipment up to date is essential for maintaining efficiency and security. However, upgrading outdated technology can generate a considerable amount of plastic, chemical, and metal waste.

E-waste (short for electronic waste) refers to old, unwanted, or broken electronic devices that are at their end of life and ready to be disposed of, donated, or recycled.
