We have been shortlisted for three categories at the upcoming Reuters Global Sustainability Awards 2026: Business Transformation, SDG Pioneer and Sustainability Trailblazer.

Our recent milestones signal a pivotal shift: the industry is no longer just observing our trajectory; it is actively validating our model. Being recognised by an organisation of Reuters' global reach is a proud moment, but this is not just our win; it is a win for the entire industry. It is a testament to the cultural shift taking place in enterprise IT, and these little wins only make us want to work harder.

We will continue pushing the boundaries of innovation. Now, we wait for the results to be announced on 21st October in London.

Our second clean water project, delivered in partnership with charity: water, is now complete in Alac, Uganda, providing 372 people with a reliable source of safe drinking water.

For the community, this means more than a new water source. It means less time spent collecting water and more opportunity for education, livelihoods, health and family life.

Together with our first project in Gbamusu, Sierra Leone, our customers have now helped bring clean water to 592 people across two communities.

For decades, IT procurement has largely followed a familiar path: buy, use and dispose.

The latest Greening Government Commitments ICT Annual Report suggests a different way of thinking. Government is already recovering more than £2 million by reselling ICT devices and materials at end of life. This demonstrates that technology can continue creating value beyond its first lifecycle.

That's an important shift.

Your IT estate isn't simply a cost to be managed. It's an asset whose value can be extended, recovered and reimagined.

Circular procurement makes that possible by moving beyond the traditional buy–use–dispose model towards one that prioritises recovering value, extending device lifecycles through reuse, remanufacturing and refurbishment and keeping technology in productive use for longer.

At Circular Computing, we've always believed that remanufacturing is more than just restoring a laptop. It's about rethinking how organisations create value from the technology they already own without compromising on performance.

The future of public sector IT isn't just about buying smarter. It's about making every technology investment deliver value for longer.

We’re proud to announce the completion of our second sponsored clean water project, delivered in partnership with charity: water.

A new well with a hand pump now provides a reliable source of safe drinking water for 372 people in the community of Alac, Uganda.

In Uganda, only 18% of the population has access to safely managed drinking water. For the people of Alac, this new source of clean water will transform their lives meaning better health, more time for education, livelihoods and greater opportunity for the future.

This project was made possible by our customers. By choosing Circular Computing sustainable laptops, our customers help to turn an IT procurement decision into lasting social impact.

Thank you to every customer who helped make this possible.

The UK Government is increasingly looking at the whole lifecycle of ICT, with embodied carbon becoming an important part of the procurement conversation. With most government ICT emissions falling within Scope 3, what happens before a laptop reaches the user's desk matters enormously.

What if your next laptop didn't need to be made from scratch?

A Circular Computing remanufactured laptop generates just 6.34% of the CO₂ emissions of an average new laptop.

Watch the video to see what that difference looks like.

The latest Greening Government Commitments ICT Annual Report 2024-2025 shows genuine progress.

Government ICT carbon emissions have fallen by 13%. ICT waste has reduced by 36%. More than £2 million has been recovered through the resale of end-of-life ICT equipment.

These aren't just sustainability wins. They demonstrate that smarter lifecycle management can deliver measurable environmental and financial value.

But perhaps the biggest opportunity lies ahead.

The report reveals a government technology estate comprising 902,667 laptops, alongside more than one million monitors and 346,000 smartphones. At that scale, the conversation naturally shifts from replacing technology to extracting greater value from it.

At Circular Computing, we've long believed that the most sustainable laptop isn't always a new one. It's the one that continues to deliver value through approaches such as remanufacturing and refurbishment. The direction set out in this report reflects the same principle: making every device deliver more value, for longer.

The future of sustainable IT won't just be defined by what organisations buy. It will be defined by how much value we unlock from the devices they already own.

Charities face constant pressure to balance high-quality technology needs with tight operational budgets. With the price of new laptops exploding due to AI demand, delaying essential laptop refreshes can leave your staff and volunteers with slow, ageing devices.

Second-hand does not have to mean second-best. Circular Computing provides the highest quality refurbished laptops that deliver dependable performance at a lower cost compared to buying new. This strategic shift allows you to support remote and hybrid working arrangements seamlessly while keeping your resources focused where they matter most.

The verifiable data on our carbon and resource savings can be used directly in your sustainability reports and funding proposals, proving to stakeholders that your values align with your procurement decisions.

Our laptops are easily accessible through trusted purchasing frameworks and come fully equipped to support your daily operations.

The cost of buying new laptops is rising fast. With memory prices continuing to increase and further market pressures expected, organisations are facing growing challenges in managing laptop budgets without compromising performance.

There is a more strategic alternative.

Circular Computing’s Remanufacturing-as-a-Service (RaaS) helps organisations extend the life of their existing laptop fleets, avoiding unnecessary capital expenditure while supporting sustainability objectives.

By remanufacturing and upgrading devices to enterprise-grade standards, complete with warranties and flexible deployment schedules, RaaS delivers reliable performance, reduces e-waste and maximises the value of your existing technology investments.

The result? Significant cost savings, a lower environmental impact and more budget available for the initiatives that drive your business forward.

Aligning public sector operations with modern climate goals can be challenging, but The Pensions Authority in Ireland has proven it is entirely achievable. By looking to fulfil Ireland’s "Buying Greener" Green Public Procurement Strategy, the authority actively sought a solution that supported environmental targets without sacrificing performance.

In partnership with Circular Computing and GreenIT, they adopted sustainable remanufactured notebooks to lower their carbon footprint. This initiative highlights how major public bodies can successfully lead the transition toward a circular economy.

Michael Tuohy, IT Infrastructure Manager at The Pensions Authority stated:

"Our experience with GreenIT and Circular Computing’s remanufactured notebooks has been nothing short of excellent... We achieved significant savings compared to buying new... We are very happy with these devices and our reseller, GreenIT."

The ongoing “RAMageddon” (memory-chip shortage) is forcing organisations to rethink how they approach endpoint procurement. As Ben Caddy, Senior Analyst – Sustainable Ecosystems at Omdia, noted, the disruption is "causing customers who have previously written off refurbished IT to rethink their attitudes."

Why? Because the market has evolved.

According to Caddy, the secondary market has "matured significantly in the last five years", giving organisations access to higher-quality alternatives to new devices.

At Circular Computing, we've long believed that organisations shouldn't have to choose between quality, cost and sustainability.

Our highest-quality sustainable HP, Dell and Lenovo laptops help organisations reduce costs, avoid supply chain uncertainty and accelerate their sustainability goals.

As procurement teams reassess their options, the question is no longer whether non-new technology is viable. It's whether buying new is always necessary.
