CIOs and IT Directors are navigating three constant pressures: delivering performance, meeting targets and controlling rising IT costs.

Weightmans demonstrated that performance, and cost efficiency are not competing priorities but can be delivered together through smarter IT decisions.

When the firm needed to refresh 1,400 laptops, they moved away from the traditional approach of buying new devices. Instead, they adopted Circular Computing’s remanufactured laptops, enabling a solution that addressed all three challenges simultaneously.

The outcome was clear. Enterprise-grade performance was maintained across the organisation, ensuring no disruption to users or operations. At the same time, approximately 440,000 kg of CO₂ emissions were avoided, contributing directly to Scope 3 reduction goals. Crucially, this was achieved while reducing overall IT expenditure compared to a like-for-like new laptop refresh.

This reflects a broader shift in IT strategy. Environmental impact and financial efficiency are now viewed as critical, whilst innovation is making remanufactured performance to be "equal to or better than new".

Weightmans provides a clear example of what is possible. Three pressures, one solution, delivered through a smarter, more strategic approach to laptop procurement.

Laptop procurement is becoming increasingly challenging for large enterprises.

The memory supply crisis, driven by SSD and RAM shortages alongside surging AI demand, is pushing new laptops prices higher. Since November, new laptop prices have increased by around 35%, with further rises expected. This creates significant unplanned expenditure and uncertainty across refresh cycles.

There is a more strategic way to respond.

Circular Computing’s remanufactured laptops deliver enterprise-grade performance while reducing costs by up to 40% compared to equivalent new models. This enables organisations to protect budgets without compromising on quality or performance.

Through our Circular Remanufacturing Process™, each device is remanufactured to a consistent standard that is ""equal to or better than new"".

Every time an organisation buys a brand-new laptop, they are effectively importing a significant carbon liability.

Manufacturing a single new laptop means: 190,000 litres of water 1,200kg of Earth’s resources 331 kg of CO2 produced.

This manufacturing process sits within “Scope 3” emissions which are the indirect emissions that occur in a company’s supply chain. While complex, it is exactly where the greatest opportunity for measurable value creation and carbon reduction lies. For many organisations, Scope 3 accounts for up to 90% of their total carbon footprint.

To ignore the supply chain is to ignore the bulk of your environmental impact. Circular Computing can help you significantly improve this equation through our remanufactured laptops.
Carbon reduction: Our remanufactured laptops produce just 6.34% of the CO2 compared to new, providing a quantifiable win for your value chain. Measurable value: By transitioning to a circular model, you tackle your largest carbon hotspot without compromising on enterprise performance.

Don’t let 90% of your footprint go unaddressed. Re-evaluate your IT habits and lead the shift to a circular economy.

Ireland’s Circular Economy Strategy is a mandate for change, but with IT costs rising and supply chains straining, the shift to sustainable procurement has never been more urgent. With the SSD and RAM supply crisis driving new laptops prices up by 35% since November 2025, defaulting to ""new"" is no longer a viable financial strategy.

Circular Computing provides remanufactured laptops that aligns with national goals without compromising on performance. Our Circular Remanufacturing Process™ enables us to go beyond the BSI Kitemark standard for remanufactured notebooks to deliver The New New®. This process reuses 99% of original materials, while the remaining 1% is either used in our parts library or recycled into plastic pallets. Opting for remanufactured laptops helps organisations reduce Scope 3 emissions and move away from linear consumption models.

• Alignment with the EPA’s Circular Economy Programme
• Up to 40% cost savings compared to new
• Reduced carbon emissions

Whether you need 5 or 5,000 laptops, we can offer a consistent supply of Dell, HP and Lenovo laptops to support your business.

The UK’s Earth Overshoot Day 2026 highlights the urgent need to rethink how we consume and dispose of technology. Starting from today, we are operating beyond the planet’s ability to regenerate resources within the year.

E-waste remains one of the fastest-growing waste streams, with linear “take-make-dispose” models continuing to drive unnecessary extraction, production and disposal. This is particularly evident in IT, where laptop refresh cycles often prioritise new devices over more sustainable alternatives.

The circular economy offers a practical alternative. Extending the life of existing technology helps reduce waste and conserve valuable resources.

At Circular Computing, our non-new sustainable laptops support this shift by keeping laptops in use for longer and helping organisations align laptop procurement with circular economy principles.

In the latest Atos CEO Real Talk podcast, Steve Haskew from Circular Computing joined Hans Koolen from Atos to discuss why remanufacturing represents a structural shift in how we manage technology.

A key message from the podcast is that most employees do not actually require brand-new devices for their daily tasks. By moving away outdated hardware norms and treating IT as a circular resource, organisations can significantly cut carbon emissions and meet Scope 3 targets. The discussion also highlights how sustainability and AI must work together to drive future readiness.

Choosing remanufactured laptops means meeting ESG goals without risking performance or security. It is about being audit-ready for 2026 and ensuring that every device is a strategic asset rather than an environmental liability. This is the circular revolution in action.

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) shows how a public sector organisation turned outdated IT into both social and environmental value. The borough saw end-of-life IT not as waste but as a valuable resource.

Facing limited budgets and a need to improve digital access for students, LBBD partnered with Circular Computing to transform their laptops. Instead of defaulting to disposal or costly new procurement, the borough recovered value from its existing hardware through secure and compliant processes.

That value was reinvested into digital inclusion, funding 350 remanufactured Chromebooks distributed across 35 schools. This enabled hundreds of children to access essential digital tools without increasing public spending.

At the same time, the initiative delivered measurable environmental results. Over 8 tonnes of were avoided, alongside 110,600kg of and 66.5 million litres of .
