Circular IT group
With 350+ specialists managing 1.2+ million devices every year, we help organisations buy, manage, recover and reuse tech across the complete IT lifecycle.
Since 1993, we’ve been helping organisations get more from their IT.
We believe tech should stay in use for as long as it creates value. That’s why we manage IT with its next life in mind, extending lifecycles, reducing waste and recovering value. All lowering costs and turning circularity into a practical business advantage.
Today, our facilities across the UK and Europe and our international network enable us to deliver everything from single-site requirements to complex multi-country projects. One partner to buy, manage, recover and reuse IT consistently across locations and borders.
In [YEAR], we kept [X] devices in use, avoided [X] tonnes of CO₂ and gave [X]% of recovered IT a second life. We turn circular IT into measurable environmental and economic impact.
Across seven sites in the UK and Europe, we support more than 10,000 organisations, from SMEs and global companies to public sector organisations and the reseller community.
We want circular IT to become the standard, challenging the traditional linear approach and embedding circular thinking into how organisations buy, use, manage and recover IT.
Technology shouldn’t become waste while it still has value. We challenge the traditional take, use and dispose approach by extending the life of IT through reuse, refurbishment and remarketing, while responsibly recycling what can no longer be used.
The result is less waste, lower environmental impact and more value kept in circulation.
Circularity should be measurable. We take responsibility for our impact, track our progress and keep looking for ways to improve.
Our Impact Report shows how we are extending the life of hardware, reducing waste and turning circular IT into measurable results.
