Here at TradeRenew, we are committed to providing premium refurbished laptops at a fraction of high street prices. But why should you choose refurbished laptops? By giving laptops a second life, we extend their use, thus decreasing electronic waste and the need for new raw materials. This approach supports sustainability goals, such as minimizing our carbon footprint and promoting a circular economy. Here are some reasons as to why opting for a refurbished laptop is an environmentally responsible choice:
The global IT industry manufactures 272 million laptops annually, with each laptop's production generating an average of 331 kg of CO2. Considering the UK's daily per capita emissions are around 30 kg, this equates to approximately 11 days of your carbon footprint, which is comparable to a flight from London to Rome.
Producing a single laptop requires approximately 1.7 tons of raw materials, including precious metals like gold, silver, and palladium. By extending the life of existing laptops, the demand for new raw materials is reduced, conserving natural resources and minimizing the environmental impact of mining and material extraction.
According to a study by the United Nations University, refurbishing and reusing laptops can save up to 70% of the energy required to manufacture a new device.
