Ingram Micro and Circular Computing partner on remanufactured laptops
News Body text
Circular Computing is partnering with Ingram Micro on carbon-neutral, remanufactured Dell, HP and Lenovo laptops. Unlike refurbished IT equipment, which depending on the provider can be inconsistent and unreliable, remanufactured laptops go through a rigorous 300-step process and quality control procedure to ensure they meet the needs of enterprise users and have been proven to perform at 97 percent of equivalent new devices. For every remanufactured laptop Circular Computing sell, 316kg of CO2 emissions and 190,000 litres of water is saved, and 1,200kg of mining minerals is prevented versus the equivalent sale of a new machine. The resource and emissions savings businesses can achieve by opting for remanufactured IT, are significant. In fact, research shows that UK businesses could save £7.7 billion over the next nine years by buying remanufactured laptops instead of brand-new devices. The move would also
see carbon emissions reductions of nine million tons and 5.4 trillion litres less water usage – 10 percent of the volume of the North Sea – over the same period. If all businesses in the UK elected to move to remanufactured devices, the reduction in emissions by 2030 – when progress against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be reviewed – would be equivalent to taking 193,002 cars off of the roads for a year. Michael Farrah, Senior Commercial Director at Ingram Micro said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Circular Computing, not only so we can offer our customers bestin-class remanufactured laptops, but also so we can offer a genuinely sustainable solution for the provision of IT equipment. Sustainability is high on the agenda in the IT industry and we feel that this partnership can be a significant contributor towards improving sustainability and re-enforcing the benefits of the circular economy.”
