Circular Computing, an information technology remanufacturing company based in London, has launched a global IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) program which will assist partners in decarbonizing their recycling processes.
“We are delighted to be launching a program that enables the pioneers in ITAD to deliver a more sustainable service while delivering against the increasing demand for sustainable technology,” says Scott Mac Meekin, CEO of Circular Computing. “This is all made possible through utilizing the benefits of remanufacturing to close the loop in IT disposal, alongside the added sustainability benefits the program offers.”
The program also allows for the sale of remanufactured devices. The company says all remanufactured devices sold through the program will be carbon neutral, helping businesses meet sustainability targets like the Climate Change Act, Sustainable Development Goals and the carbon zero obligations set via the U.N.
Circular Computing says the program has four key goals:
- extending the life of computers;
- preventing useful IT from being prematurely scrapped;
- funding five trees for every computer that is bought through the program helps to deliver the global net zero carbon ambition; and
- providing unique reporting on the sustainable and positive impacts of assets.
“By launching our global ITAD program, we have the opportunity to impart our sustainability expertise to help the industry tackle the growing e-waste problem,” says Steve Haskew, head of sustainability at Circular Computing. “Our new, sustainable ITAD program goes beyond simply allowing enterprises to reap the benefits of carbon-neutral hardware but delivers added environmental and social value, too. This expansion of our offering will allow us to reach a greater number of partners through the ITAD network, driving the transition to a circular economy and helping businesses meet the UN SDGs.”
