The issue of e-waste is ever growing with current studies showing that annual e-waste production has risen by 82% since 2010, and is continuing to grow. It is estimated that e-waste will rise to 74 million tonnes by as soon as 2030.
Why is this important?
It costs 200-400kg of CO2 to produce a single laptop. That’s roughly the equivalent of driving a car 500-1000 miles. Not only that, but each new item uses a variety of rare earth elements as well as valuable materials such as gold, copper and palladium.
Many laptops have an estimated lifespan of approx. 8 years. Many end-users will update their client devices every 2 years. This means that a significant portion of all laptops, computers and docks are heading to landfill, an estimated 80%
Introducing Circular IT and T1A
Circular IT is a relatively simple concept – rather than simply disposing of devices, they are introduced into a cycle of refurbishment and re-use.
And this is where T1A shine.
Based in Denmark and with a 25-year history, T1A excel in extending the life and usage of computers without the unnecessary replacement of parts just to make them look new. Their drive, and successful mission, is to keep material and CO2 emission to a minimum.
T1A in the circular ecosystem
T1A refurbish 90% of all devices they acquire. And those they can’t? Well 90% of what they can’t refurbish is then harvested for parts recovery.
That leaves just 1% of everything that they receive that unused and heads to either landfill or incineration for energy production.
T1A are currently refurbishing approx. 250,000 meaning that they are saving 225,000 devices from incineration or landfill before the actual end of their lifespan.

Reassuringly Refurbished
Understandably, there are a few minor concerns regarding refurbished computers, but do not worry. In addition to saving up to 270kg of CO2 emission, every device is careful checked, thoroughly cleaned, completely anonymised and erased of data before being setup for delivery.
Not only that but all items come with a standard 2-year warranty and 6-month battery warranty. All of T1A’s refurbishment is completed in Denmark to an exceptional standard.
