Sustainability has become a top priority for many organizations — yet one area is still often overlooked: IT hardware.
In our view, this is where immense potential lies for both environmental and economic value.
Why we use Second-Hand Hardware
- We conserve resources
Producing new devices consumes rare raw materials, water, and energy. By reusing existing hardware, we extend the lifecycle of valuable resources. - We reduce CO₂ emissions
Every device that doesn’t need to be manufactured saves emissions — making a direct contribution to corporate climate goals. - We leverage cost advantages
Refurbished devices are often significantly more affordable than new ones — while offering the same functionality and warranty. Sustainability and budget efficiency go hand in hand. - We reduce e-waste
Electronic waste is a global challenge. Using second-hand equipment helps reduce waste and promotes a circular economy.
Best Practice Tips
- Establish refurbished-hardware programs
- Standardize and maintain your devices
- Implement secure data-erasure processes
- Work with certified refurbishers
- Raise employee awareness for sustainable IT practices
Conclusion
Second-hand hardware is not a stopgap — it is a strategic lever for sustainable business management.
Those who conserve resources, reduce emissions, and optimize costs are actively shaping the future.
Our motto: Sustainability does not always start with “new” — often, it starts with “re-use.”
