Reducing the environmental impact of tech products

Digital technology has invaded our daily lives: we use smartphones for communication, computers for work, tablets for learning and gaming consoles for entertainment. The typical European owns an average of eight connected devices. This number is quite interesting, especially when you know that digital devices are some of the most complex products to produce and are the least sustainable.

Some organizations can help you find collection points near your home. On the other hand, due to a lack of information, professionals may find this task more tedious and time-consuming.

Now more than ever, in this era of ecological transition and CSR strategies, it is time for companies to adopt a responsible approach in order to:

• Promote the use of refurbished products by their employees
• Offer a second life to their IT equipment inventories
  

Below, we explain how Dipli can support companies in this process.

Equip your company with refurbished products

Smartphones, computers and tablets are among the three most requested products on the refurbished market. Phones alone account for almost 60% of the demand for used products. The market grew by 15% worldwide in 2021. More devices are being refurbished than ever before and that’s a good thing!

As a reminder, a refurbished device is a used product that has undergone a series of tests by a professional technician. All the data on the device has been erased according to a strict procedure and any worn parts have been replaced if necessary. All the equipment we offer on dipli.com comes from our approved partner factories in Europe.

Our teams perform continuous quality control to guarantee exemplary quality and traceability, which is essential in this market.Smartphones, computers and tablets are among the three most requested products on the refurbished market.

In order for a device to be sold second-hand, it is necessary to

:

• Completely erase all personal data beforehand
• Grade the device to certify its aesthetic condition
• Conduct a test that consists of 30 checkpoints
  
  

An approach with impact

Buying a refurbished phone allows you to benefit from a price reduction of 20% to 50%, compared to a new product.

Buying second-hand also reduces the annual environmental impact by 55% to 91% depending on the indicators used, compared to the use of a new smartphone. It also conserves 82kg of raw materials and eliminates 25kg of greenhouse gases per year of use. In 2020, with an estimated sales of 2.8 million units, this would mean a savings of approximately 229,000 tons of raw materials and a savings of 70,000 tons of CO2 equivalent.

Refurbishing your equipment at the end of its service life
