How can we all do our bit to reduce global warming?
At TMT First we believe tech and the planet can work together. Our mission is ‘keeping technology alive for longer’ whether that is through repairs, refurbishment or stripping down obsolete tech into precious metals.
As an Apple, Microsoft and Samsung partner, at TMT First we offer a range of refurbished devices of all grades. But whatever the grade, they all come with TMT First’s assurance of our rigorous 52-point QC check*, have been repaired or refurbished as per manufacturer standards and leave our facility ready to begin a new life.
Every new mobile phone produced has a carbon footprint relating to manufacture, that can’t be helped. What we can do is extend the life of the device and ‘repair not replace’. What this means is that by extending product replacement lifecycles, overall carbon emissions can be reduced by producing less devices.
An average mobile phone can produce between 30kg – 50kg CO2E KG per device**, which means that a fleet of mobile phones produces significantly more. As a result, this can have a significant impact on an organisations environmental goals. Therefore by extending device lifecycles and/or investing in refurbished devices organisations can reduce their carbon impact.
Buying refurbished devices from TMT First is a smart choice for your pocket and the environment. Here’s why:
- Quality Devices: authorised Apple, Microsoft and Samsung repair centre, we don’t just ‘flip devices’. Full QC, repair if required, secure data wipe and upgrade to latest software before we ship out.
- Commercial Savings: refurbished phones are significantly cheaper than new, plus with TMT First they come with a limited warranty.
- Carbon Savings: there is minimal additional carbon footprint with a refurbished device.
So if minimising your carbon footprint is important to your organisation speak to the team at TMT First and see how we can help in ‘keeping technology alive for longer’ with our refurbished phones, repairs and recycling services.
