Refurbished Devices

Refurbished Devices – just how much are the Carbon Savings?

Last week we talked about the general environmental benefits of ‘keeping technology alive for longer’, this week we take a deeper dive into the specifics.

Firstly, from a commercial perspective, refurbished phones shouldn’t be a risk. TMT First are an approved Apple, Microsoft and Samsung partner; our trained technicians use genuine parts, tooling and diagnostics to ensure our refurbished devices are in excellent condition – all coming with a 90-day warranty and optional 1 year warranty.

But let’s talk about the environmental impact and saving…

A typical tier one smartphone requires 47.9kg of CO2 to produce. Let’s say the screen is broken.

  • Replacement – that’s another 47.9kg of CO2
  • Screen Repair – that’s only 4.56kg of CO2

A saving of over 40kg of CO2 by ‘repair not replace’.

Thinking about buying refurbished devices?

  • New – 47.9kg of CO2
  • Refurbished – 10.21kg of CO2 required

A saving of over 37kg of CO2 by ‘keeping technology alive for longer’.

If you manage a device fleet, can you afford to ignore the cost and environmental benefits?
