<p dir="ltr">All companies depend on having a well-functioning IT that makes daily operations easy to maneuver. This necessitates regular updates and replacements so that the equipment is always up to date.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Circular Economy within IT Equipment is a sustainable approach to the entire life cycle of your equipment. This can give both substantial cost savings for your business whilst at the same time reducing the environmental impact of buying new, saving on Co2 emissions, water usage, chemicals and rare earth metals that are often extracted in negative ways for the local environment and people sourcing them.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In practice this means purchasing Refurbished IT equipment from reputable suppliers, for items such as laptops, monitors, phones, and other hardware devices. On top of this it is also possible to sell your old IT equipment or have it disposed of in an environmentally safe way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Zerofy has a network of carefully selected partners within this area that can help your company set-up a circular economy for all your IT equipment. Our partners can offer all the support you need to get refurbished equipment when you need it and also dispose or sell obsolete equipment.</p>
