Is Your Business Ignoring Its Biggest Carbon Culprit? 🌍 According to McKinsey & Company, end-user devices—laptops, smartphones, and other equipment—account for a staggering 50-60% of enterprise IT emissions, a critical aspect that many organizations overlook. Globally, these devices are responsible for 115-125 megatons of CO2 emissions each year. For IT leaders, adopting Green IT and refurbished devices presents a major opportunity to not only reduce their Green IT emissions but also achieve substantial cost savings associated with new IT purchases. The report shows just how critical it is for businesses to reduce their IT emissions to make a meaningful impact on the bigger picture of global sustainability. At circulee, we provide the solution. Our Green IT devices are already helping over 1,500 B2B customers to cut their IT costs by up to 50% while slashing CO2 emissions by up to 80%. 🌱 Let's reduce emissions, one device at a time. 🌍 #GreenIT #Sustainability #RefurbishedIT #ITEmissions #McKinsey

🕵 A post to straighten some facts around company emissions through IT: the biggest carbon culprit is end-user devices, not on-premises data centers 🤌 End-user devices—laptops, tablets, smartphones, and printers—generate 1.5 to 2.0 times more carbon globally than data centers, says McKinsey & Company. #greenit helps reduce carbon emission from hardware by up to 70%. This is why we get up every day at circulee.

✨Embracing Innovation: Stepping out of (y)our Comfort Zone ⚡️ Innovation is exciting, but landing it with customers can be challenging. The reason? Even when customers see their problem being solved, they often resist the solution if it pushes them out of their comfort zone. This discomfort comes from an unexpected shift in how they’re used to operating, even if the change is for the better. 💡 📱Take the smartphone, for example. When first introduced, many were hesitant to leave behind physical keyboards. The solution to communication was clear, but the touchscreen technology felt foreign and disruptive. 📱 Over time, it completely redefined our expectations of mobile technology. Another example is electric vehicles (EVs). ⚡️ While they solve issues like environmental impact and fuel costs, early adopters had to adjust to charging infrastructure and range anxiety. It was a mindset shift, but the long-term benefits became undeniable as technology improved and infrastructure expanded. 🚗🔋 Innovations succeed when we help customers see not just the solution but the potential beyond the discomfort of change. Change is growth. Comfort zones aren’t where progress happens. 🚀 #Innovation #CustomerExperience #GrowthMindset #EmbraceChange #TechTransformation #FutureReady #Disruption #Leadership #ElectricVehicles #Smartphones

Unlock the reused devices market: grow your business while enabling real impact 📱🚀 According to the 2023 Foxway handprint report, the production of a new smartphone and its transport to the consumer causes ca 60 kg of CO2e emissions. But opting for a reused mobile can mean more than a 95% reduction in emissions! How so? 🤔  By giving used devices a second life, we save energy and finite resources that would otherwise go into manufacturing new products — a process that makes up the majority of a device's lifecycle footprint.   What’s in it for your customers?  🔹 companies can report lower Scope 3 emissions  🔹 private consumers get a more sustainable alternative to buying brand new Embrace the change and become a reseller today: https://foxway.shop   #scope3emissions #resellers #environmentalimpact #circulartech

Mobile #Sustainability: Rethinking Device Circularity    When it comes to device circularity, the #mobile industry has a long way to go. Most phones end up in drawers and landfills once their owners buy a new phone – even though many of these phones are still fully functioning due to their advanced durability. Georgiann Reigle, founder and CEO of Kingfisher, shared her thoughts on how manufacturers can change the consumer’s mindset towards circulation.

🌍 Switch to Rechargeable Lithium Batteries: Power the Future, Sustainably! Did you know that rechargeable lithium batteries are revolutionizing how we store and use energy? Whether it's powering your smartphone, laptop, or even your electric vehicle, lithium batteries offer higher energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and are better for the environment compared to traditional disposable batteries. 🔋 Why Choose Lithium Batteries? 💡 High Performance: Lightweight, long-lasting, and quick to charge, perfect for modern life. 🌱 Eco-Friendly: Reduce waste by switching to rechargeable options that last years, not days. #LithiumBatteries #Sustainability #RechargeableEnergy #EcoFriendly #Innovation

Imagine reducing global e-waste by millions of tons simply by rethinking how we design our gadgets. 📱 Enter modular device design—a revolutionary approach where devices are built with interchangeable parts. Currently, the world produces over 50 million tons of e-waste annually, with only 20% being recycled properly. Companies like Fairphone and Google's Project Ara have pioneered phones where components like the camera, battery, or processor can be easily swapped out. This means instead of discarding an entire device due to one faulty part, users can replace just that piece. In fact, modular devices can extend product life cycles by up to 85%, significantly cutting down on waste. By embracing modularity, tech companies can not only reduce environmental impact but also offer consumers cost-effective upgrades. Could this be the key to sustainable electronics? Let's rethink, rebuild, and reduce. 🌎 #SustainableTech #GreenIT #ESG #TechForGood
