Circular Computing

Circular Computing has recently achieved Responsible Recycling Version 3 (R2V3) certification. This is one of the leading globally recognised certifications, developed by Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI). It establishes best practices for managing IT assets and electronic waste, covering the refurbishing, recycling and responsible disposal of electronics, with a core focus on data security, environmental protection and worker health and safety. Our partnership with Certus Software ensures we comply with the highest standards in data security. The partnership transforms data sanitisation from a perceived liability into a controlled, auditable process that empowers mass IT reuse.

In 2026, the challenge for the UK education sector has moved from simply "going green" to proving it. With mandatory climate action plans now a cornerstone of governance, your laptop procurement is no longer just a budget decision; it is a sustainability statement that inspires the next generation. At Circular Computing, we help you bridge the gap between high performance and the Department for Education’s (DfE) ambitious sustainability goals. Our highest quality refurbished laptops align perfectly with Action Area 4, focusing on the circular economy and resource efficiency. By choosing a closed-loop model, you are actively cutting Scope 3 emissions and tackling e-waste.

In an era where sustainability must move from aspiration to action, Defra is demonstrating true public sector leadership. As the first UK government department to adopt sustainable laptops at scale, Defra has embedded sustainability and circular economy principles into a major £150 million end user services contract with Atos. This includes the procurement of up to 34,000 Circular Computing sustainable laptops over five years. The results speak volumes: 44% lower CO₂ emissions, up to 40% cost savings and the preservation of 51,000 tonnes of raw materials. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also delivers genuine value for taxpayer while maintaining high performance standards. By integrating ambitious sustainability KPIs and doubling the weighting for social value, Defra is proving that responsible procurement and operational excellence can, and must, go hand in hand. This initiative sets a powerful precedent for government and enterprise alike. Defra is redefining what responsible IT procurement looks like in the public sector.

Earth Day 2026 arrives at a critical juncture for the corporate world. As the theme "Our Power, Our Planet" suggests, the influence of procurement is no longer just a line item; it is a primary driver for global environmental recovery. While recycling has long been the standard, it is often a reactive solution to a deeper problem: the linear "take-make-waste" model of technology production. At Circular Computing, we go a step further. We extend the lifecycles of laptops and give them a new lease of life through remanufacturing while preserving the earth's resources. Our impact extends beyond carbon and e-waste. Through our partnership with charity: water, every laptop we sell helps fund access to clean, safe drinking water for communities in need, turning IT procurement into meaningful human impact. By choosing 'The New New®', your organisation is not just 'doing less harm'. You are actively participating in a regenerative economy. This Earth Day, we invite you to look beyond traditional CSR and consider how your IT estate can become a catalyst for planetary health. Earth Day 2026 is a call to reclaim our power for the planet.

The traditional “take, make, dispose” model is reaching its limit. For decades, industries have relied on a linear system that is no longer sustainable. With the UK government’s Circular Economy Taskforce advancing a national strategy for a closed-loop future, the need for change is already here. IT procurement, once a straightforward purchase decision, now sits at the centre of this shift. Manufacturing a single new laptop requires mining 1,200 kg of earth and consuming 190,000 litres of water, yet devices are often replaced too early. At Circular Computing, we go beyond to lead the shift toward a sustainable future - one that works for the planet and the economy. Our Circular Remanufacturing Process™ has 0% e-waste. We reuse 99% of the original materials to remanufacture laptops, while the remaining 1% is either used in our parts library or recycled into pallets.

Hoyer VMS Group, a global one-stop partner delivering power and motion solutions to the maritime industry, is demonstrating how sustainability and performance can work together in practice. Working with COMM2IG and Circular Computing, Hoyer VMS Group adopted the Remanufacturing as a Service (RaaS) model and deployed a fleet of remanufactured laptops to align its IT strategy with its broader commitment to efficiency, reliability and environmental responsibility. Operating in demanding, global environments, the business required high-performance devices without compromise. Hoyer VMS Group now benefits from enterprise-grade remanufactured laptops that meet operational needs while significantly reducing environmental impact. Each device delivers like-new performance while cutting carbon emissions, conserving resources and supporting #circulareconomy principles. This collaboration highlights a growing shift across maritime and industrial sectors: sustainable IT is no longer a trade-off. With the right partners, it becomes a strategic advantage. For organisations looking to reduce Scope 3 emissions without sacrificing performance, the path forward is already here.

Together for Mental Wellbeing, a leading UK charity, faced significant IT challenges, including soaring costs of brand-new laptops and inefficient operations. By choosing Circular Computing remanufactured laptops, they transformed their approach to technology. This strategic shift allowed the organisation to save approximately £100 per laptop, redirecting vital funds toward supporting those in need of mental health services. The benefits extended far beyond the budget. Each laptop saved 190,000 litres of water and prevented 316 kg of CO₂ emissions. These carbon-neutral devices also helped the charity meet strict social value targets while reducing technical issues. With three-year warranties and a more streamlined delivery process, the IT team saved significant time and resources. The switch to remanufactured Lenovo models even improved daily staff tasks, with built-in features removing the need for extra hardware. Together for Mental Wellbeing has proven that you do not need to buy new to achieve professional reliability and high performance. It is a smarter, more sustainable way to work.

A new report from the United Nations Global Compact Network UK says we are at a "decisive moment". With only five years left to meet global sustainability goals, UK businesses must act quickly. The report, Trailblazers & Transformers, shows that being green is the only way to stay competitive and successful in the long run. The research finds that most UK sectors are still falling behind. Efforts toward sustainability could generate long-term benefits for businesses and wider society if commitments were matched with tangible progress. One of the easiest wins for any organisation is looking at its laptop estate. Adopting remanufactured laptops instead of new ones is a simple way to turn sustainability goals into immediate action. Circular Computing makes this transition easy and risk-free. Our remanufactured HP, Dell and Lenovo laptops allow you to lead in green innovation without the high costs of new. We help you protect your budget and the planet by delivering: ▪️ Up to 40% cost saving compared to buying brand new. ▪️ CO₂, water and mining avoidance. ▪️ A warranty of up to 3 years (longer options available on request). ▪️ Certified carbon-neutral product.
