Buying new laptops has a bigger footprint than you think.
Together With Our Partners, We Help Companies Decarbonise Their IT Estate.
In order to promote a sustainable future, Outbound Hub and its partners embrace the need for change. In order to reduce the carbon footprint of discarding IT products, we collect, refurbish, and recycle old technology securely.
Environmental legislation and sustainability have come a long way since the introduction of the WEEE directive. The UK ranks fifth in the world for the volume of e-waste it produces per inhabitant, ranking among the most profligate producers of e-waste. Due to the shorter lifespan of consumer electronics such as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, e-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream in the UK.
You can significantly contribute towards your ESG goals by enabling a sustainable IT procurement strategy without compromising on your IT requirements.
What are the Sustainable Outcomes with 1 Laptop?
Report 316kgs of carbon avoided in CSR under Scope 3
Each laptop is certified carbon neutral. 316kgs of CO2 per laptop can be reported as avoided under Scope 3 carbon reporting.
Report 5 trees have been planted, helping people & planet
Working with our reforestation partners, we plant 5 trees for every laptop in India and Africa, creating income diversity and making earth cooler www.my5trees.com
600kgs of CO2 captured,
offsetting CO2 from use
When we plant 5 trees for each laptop, a minimum of 120Kgs of Co2 is captured by each tree over their lifetime. Helping to compensate for “embodied” carbon emissions from each laptop's original manufacture and first 3 years of use.
Report 1,200kgs of resources preserved
1,200kgs is the waste footprint of a brand new laptop. By reusing what has already been made, you are avoiding the mining of critical and virgin rare earth resources.
Report 190,000 litres of water saved
A Brand new laptop has a water footprint of 190,000 litres due to extraction, refining, and production. By reusing what has already been made, you are avoiding wasting all this water.
0% e-waste produced & Circular Buy Back
When we plant 5 trees for each laptop, a minimum of 120Kgs of Co2 is captured by each tree over their lifetime. Helping to compensate for “embodied” carbon emissions from each laptop's original manufacture and first 3 years of use.
Find out how much CO2 your organisation could save by procuring remanufactured laptops
If your organisation would like to impose better lifecycle management for your IT and adopt a full lifecycle approach to your IT, Outbound Hub can work with your organisation to arrange Redeployment for devices from leavers to be used for new hires, arrange old devices to be refurbished securely, and arrange recycling.
