Did you know? "Reusing a computer is 20 times more effective at saving life-cycle energy use than recycling." "The production of every PC requires 10 times its own weight in fossil fuels. According to empirical research published by Williams and Kerr from the UN University in Tokyo, the average PC requires 240kg of fossil fuels, 22kg of chemicals and 1,500kg of water. That's over 1.7 metric tonnes of materials consumed to produce each and every PC. PCs require so much energy and materials because of the complex internal structure of microchips.
Reuse vs. Recycling "Empirical research proves beyond doubt that reuse of computers is far better for the environment than recycling. Reusing a computer is 20 times more effective at saving life cycle energy use than recycling. Given the substantial environmental cost of production it's important we recover the full productive value of every PC through reuse before eventually recycling it to recover parts and materials at its true end-of-life. A refurbished computer can provide at least another 3 years productive life" Source: destinationgreenit.com All of the products in the SoThin Suite can help you to reduce your organisations carbon footprint.
