Sustainability has become higher on the agenda for the majority of companies. Simply put, it has a focus today that it didn’t have 5-10 years ago, and rightly so.
In order to align our services to the needs of our customers, and to be a pioneer within our own sector, we have elected to become an ITAD Partner of Circular Computing™.

If just one of your computers is selected to go through this complete remanufacturing journey, there is a massive impact that can be accomplished for each and every laptop. As an example, One laptop leaves your company and, through our services, it passes to Circular Computing™ and their remanufacturing process.
Already, this means 5 trees are planted. Once remanufactured, the laptop is sold to another customer and another 5 trees are then planted.
Through our support of reforestation projects, we aim to plant trees in the USA, India and Africa. Every laptop delivered through partnership with Circular Computing™ plants 10 trees by the time it reaches its next home.
By being part of the reforestation initiative which helps cool the planet, and remove CO2 from the atmosphere, your old laptop is the catalyst for this climate benefit as each tree removes 120KgCO2eq. in the first 20 years.
Every remanufactured laptop prevents approximately 316kg (700lb) of CO2 emissions by not buying new. For just 1,000 laptops, that’s the same as taking over 80 cars off the road for a year.
Using a remanufactured laptop avoids the mining of valuable precious minerals needed to manufacture a new laptop. This in turn also prevents the added e-waste from the disposal of a second-user laptop.
Over 190,000 litres (50,000 gallons) of water is saved from being used for extraction, refining & production of a new computer and its components. That is enough drinking water for the average American for over 700 years.
Every remanufactured, carbon-neutral laptop available from Circular Computing™ means:
A certified carbon-neutral product
Through a unique remanufacturing process and carbon-offsetting program
Support of social projects
That help create jobs and empower vulnerable communities
10 trees planted for every laptop
5 for every laptop selected for remanufacture and another 5 at second-life. All to be planted in Africa, India and the US through our reforestation partners
Supporting clean energy projects
Solar, wind and clean energy projects across the world
Circular Computing™ remanufacture old enterprise-grade, leading-brand laptops and give them a new lease of life.
Each laptop is dismantled into its major parts. Top covers, bottom covers, palm rests, bezels and keyboards are all fully repaired and repainted. Repaint in matt, gloss and soft touch finishes to match that of the original laptop.
Screens are fully tested, dismantled and repaired if necessary. 100% of the screens are free from scratches or pressure marks using the latest remanufacturing technology.
Alongside cosmetic refinishing, every unit is fully tested at component level – any worn or broken components are replaced or upgraded using potentially your old IT.
As well as the major components, smaller details such as pointing sticks and laptop feet replacement is built into the remanufacturing process.
Rigorous quality control processes during the unique 5+ hour, 100-point remanufacturing, ensures unrivaled quality.
Our aim is to deliver our laptops in a manner which is at least on par with a new product experience.
Every laptop goes through an extensive 5+ hour remanufacturing process and over 300-point quality check. Using selected replacement or upgraded components, fully tested batteries and a 1-3 year warranty.
• Remanufactured to international quality standards by fully-qualified technicians at a state-of-the-art production facility
• Comprehensive cosmetic detailing – refinished using selected replacement or upgraded components from e-waste where possible
• ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO45001 accredited processes guarantee consistent remanufactured quality in large volumes
If you continue to procure new laptops, you can still benefit as a company – the computers that leave your business could participate in this scheme.
However, if you wanted to look at making a bigger difference in terms of reducing your procurement costs and making greater sustainability gains, you may wish to consider adopting remanufacturing and Circular Computing™ laptops into your organizations set up today.
Leading brand, carbon-neutral remanufactured laptops, offering 97% of the performance of the latest models (from an independent study commissioned by Cranfield University) and up to 40% savings compared to brand new.
