How can we bridge the gap between sustainable practices and a high-quality, efficient lifestyle in work and at home? In our early days, we focused on one mission: reducing e-waste in the UK. But as we grew, we recognised a more powerful approach: managing the entire lifecycle of IT hardware. Instead of just IT Asset Disposition, we adopted a “prevention over cure” mindset, helping companies extend their tech’s lifespan while saving millions in IT budgets. Think about it—would you leave a car unused in a garage just because it needs an oil change? From our Hardware Management Solution to IT Hardware Sourcing & Supply to Disaster Recovery, We have enabled our clients to reduce costs, improve profits, and make a positive impact on our planet. Since April last year, BornGood has saved 16,500 tonnes of CO₂—equivalent to taking 3,500 cars off the road for a full year. We’ve processed 70,000 devices, preventing thousands of tonnes of e-waste and sparing non-renewable resources that would have gone into manufacturing new equipment. Today, as the UK still faces rising e-waste challenges, we invite organisations to join us on this journey. Let’s prove that technology can be both efficient and sustainable. #SustainabilityDay #BornGood #CircularEconomy #RefurbishedIT #CO2Savings #EcoFriendlyTech

FlexForum provided its view to the Commerce Commission on how to make sure people get the most reliable and affordable distribution services possible and it becomes easier for households, businesses and communities to electrify and maximise the value of their flexibility.   We think the proposed arrangements will do a good job of encouraging incremental productivity improvements but they need to provide more full-throated encouragement of the difficult and ambitious learning by doing that is necessary for distributors and the electricity ecosystem to make the transformational change necessary to integrate flexible resources and deliver a reliable and affordable distribution service as the economy electrifies.   More flexibility, faster, will give distributors a lower-cost way to provide the distribution service and give households, businesses and communities more ‘flexible’ options to reduce their use of the network and individual electricity bills.   This way everyone’s a winner, baby, that’s the truth… Read here: https://lnkd.in/g4WXsFjW   #accelerating #distribution #hotchoclate #ambitious #learningbydoing #transformational #electrification

🌱 The Impact of Refurbished Tech: More Than Just Savings 🌱 Did you know that choosing refurbished tech over brand-new isn’t just budget-friendly—it’s also planet-friendly? Here’s how: 1️⃣ Less E-Waste: Every device we refurbish and resell keeps valuable materials out of landfills and reduces toxic waste. 2️⃣ Resource Conservation: Refurbishing uses up to 80% less energy than manufacturing a new device from scratch. That’s a big win for the environment! 3️⃣ Affordable Quality: Refurbished tech offers the same performance as new (minus the hefty price tag), so you get quality that lasts and helps reduce resource consumption. At Tech4Cash, we’re all about extending the life of devices to make tech sustainable for everyone.

According to The World Bank, around 4.4 billion people, over 50% of the world's population, live in cities today. By 2050, the urban population is expected to double, with around 7 out of 10 people living in cities. Making city transport sustainable is a key effort for the near future. 🚲 But it’s not just about offering people greener ways of transport like e-bikes, shared mobility options, or electric vehicles. 💳 People also need convenient ways to pay for them to be encouraged and supported. Innovative payment solutions like open-loop systems act as a catalyst for sustainable urban mobility. They: ▪ Make eco-friendly options convenient, thereby boosting ridership. ▪ Speed up commutes and reduce paper waste. ▪ Enable seamless switching between transport modes with one payment method. ▪ Encourage eco-friendly travel based on current traffic conditions with real-time info. ✨ Our mission at Sfey is to catalyze this transformation. Our payment processing gateway does a very simple thing – it helps people use transport options seamlessly. But this conversion yields a much-desired byproduct: It generates the will to use more eco-friendly means of transport, which in turn helps cities become more sustainable. You’re welcome. 😊 #sfey #SfeyIstheWay #openloop ✂- - - - - 🌳 From tap to eco-swap: We help promote contactless payments in mobility segments to create a more sustainable world. 💳 Our modular cloud-based payment processing gateway helps public transit, EV charging, and micro-mobility operators simplify and cheapen their payment processes.

The article "Regenerate the Economic Machine", written by Christopher Lyrhem, put lights on the transformation of the business landscape and how elements of the economic machine can be expected to evolve, converge, and transform society. One key aspect of this transformation is the rise of the usership business model. In the future we expect to see businesses shift from traditional ownership models towards usership, where services and experiences will take precedence over physical products. This shift not only has the potential to benefit businesses by generating recurring revenues and reducing material use and pollution, but also to provide positive implications for the environment to instead promote increased investments in renewable materials and in recycling technologies. Amplio’s scalable solution offers efficient financial and administrative support to help businesses to accelerate their transition to a business model focused on usership and circularity.  We empower companies by integrating a tailored automated solution for continued recurring revenue and long-term success. Amplify your business offer with Amplio’s rental solution. We automate and simplify your operations. Offer a solution. Not a product. Read full article below. #asaservice
