Refurbishing and reusing unwanted ICT equipment has a number of positive effects on the environment, namely reduced carbon emissions, resource and energy conservation and less landfill.
Most of the energy a computer consumes during its life cycle is used during the production phase – 80% compared with 20% used during operation (based on a PC and 17” CRT monitor). There are two main reasons why this is the case;
Production of high tech components that require massive amounts of energy and resources.
Short lifespan of PC’s. It is estimated that users upgrade/replace their computers every 2.5 – 3 years.
Enta is working in partnership with Secure IT to provide refurbished PCs at very low cost to individuals in the community.
