Circular economy

Refurbish rather than extract

80 % of a computer's environmental footprint is concentrated in its manufacture. By extending the life of devices, we avoid the extraction of raw materials, production energy and the generation of electronic waste.

Our concrete commitments

Reuse first

Every device received is first tested to be reused. Recycling only comes into play when reuse is impossible.

DEEE channel respected

End-of-life components go to an approved treatment channel for waste electrical and electronic equipment, tracked and documented.

ESG reporting for businesses

We provide our professional clients with a reuse and recycling report (kg of DEEE, CO₂e avoided) to feed their extra-financial reporting.

A model that makes sense

The professional second-hand market is booming, driven by cost pressure, ESG obligations and the scarcity of resources. Choosing refurbished means aligning economic performance and environmental responsibility :
