Environmentally Safe Solutions
We understand the impact that technology has on the environment and have come up with a sustainable and efficient solution
According to studies, a record 62 million tonnes (Mt) of e-waste was produced in 2022, up 82% from 2010; on track to rise another 32%, to 82 million tonnes, in 2030.
As the UN’s 2030 deadline for sustainable development change fast approaches, organisations need to take a hard look at their strategies to deal with e-waste and start adopting principles of the circular economy that are aimed at eliminating waste and the continual use of resources.
At Qrent, we understand the impact that technology has on the environment and have come up with a sustainable and efficient solution to refurbish and reuse IT Hardware to extend its useful life.
Choosing refurbished IT equipment is a great way to reduce e-waste while also gaining financial and operational benefits. Here’s why:

Reduces Electronic Waste
- Refurbishing extends the life of IT equipment, keeping it out of landfills.
- E-waste contains toxic materials like lead and mercury, which can harm the environment.

Conserves Resources
- Manufacturing new devices requires raw materials, energy, and water.
- Refurbishing reduces the demand for new components, cutting down on mining and production emissions.

Cost Savings
- Refurbished IT is more affordable than new equipment.
- Businesses and individuals can save money while still getting high-quality products.

Meets Sustainability Goals
- Many companies are prioritising ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) initiatives.
- Using refurbished IT aligns with corporate sustainability goals and reduces carbon footprints.

Reliable and Certified Quality
- Reputable refurbishers test and certify devices, ensuring they work like new.
- Many refurbished products come with warranties and support, providing peace of mind.

Supports Circular Economy
- Instead of a “produce, use and discard” model, refurbishing promotes reuse.
- IT assets can be refurbished and repurposed – keeping equipment in circulation for longer.
