SUPPORTING YOUR SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES
A Partnership with Circular Computing™
Compliant CSR / ESG report
Supporting reforestation
Net zero your old IT
How it works:
- 5 trees are planted for every laptop of yours that goes to Circular Computing™.
- Circular Computing™ remanufactures the computers and plants another 5 trees for every laptop they sell.
- The considerable carbon, water and mineral footprint of a new computer is avoided through the second life of a remanufactured laptop.
- Quarterly reports that confirm your organization’s Environmental Social Governance (ESG) outputs can be embedded into your own sustainability compliance report.
- Your old IT could become net zero if chosen to go through remanufacturing Dell, HP and Lenovo remanufactured laptops.
Supporting Your Sustainability Initiatives & Goals with ITAD/ITAM Services
Sustainability is higher on the priority list for the majority of companies than it has ever been, and rightly so.
In order to align our IT Asset Disposition & Management Services (ITAD/ITAM) to the needs of our customers, and to be a pioneer within our own industry, Synetic Technologies is a Circular Computing™ ITAD Partner.

Just One Remanufactured Laptop Makes a World of Difference
If just one of your computers is selected to go through the complete remanufacturing journey, there is a massive impact that can be accomplished for each and every laptop. As an example, one laptop leaves your company and we pass it along to Circular Computing™ to undergo their remanufacturing process.
2,646 pounds of sequestered carbon emissions
By being part of the reforestation initiative, which helps cool the planet, and remove CO2 from the atmosphere, your old laptop is the catalyst for this climate benefit as each tree removes 120KgCO2eq. in the first 20 years.
700 pounds of carbon reduction
Every remanufactured laptop prevents approximately 700 pounds of CO2 emissions by not buying new. For just 1,000 laptops, that’s the same as taking over 80 cars off the road for a year.
50,000 gallons of water saved
More than 50,000 gallons of water is saved from being used for extraction, refining & production of a new computer and its components. That is enough drinking water for the average American for over 700 years.
2,646 pounds of resources preserved
Using a remanufactured laptop avoids the mining of valuable precious minerals needed to manufacture a new laptop. This in turn also prevents the added e-waste from the disposal of a second-user laptop.
The Circular Computing™ Sustainability Ethos and Social Value
Every remanufactured, carbon-neutral laptop from Circular Computing™ means:
A certified carbon-neutral product
Through a unique remanufacturing process and carbon-offsetting program
Support of social projects
That help create jobs and empower vulnerable communities
10 trees planted for every laptop
5 for every laptop selected for remanufacture and another 5 at second-life planted in Africa, India and the U.S. through reforestation partners
Supporting clean energy projects
Solar, wind and clean energy projects across the world
About the Remanufacturing Process
Circular Computing™ remanufactures old enterprise-grade, leading-brand laptops and gives them a new lease of life.
Cosmetic renewal
Each laptop is dismantled into its major parts. Top covers, bottom covers, palm rests, bezels and keyboards are all fully repaired and repainted. Repaint in matt, gloss and soft touch finishes to match that of the original laptop.
Screen refresh
Screens are fully tested, dismantled and repaired if necessary. 100% of the screens are free from scratches or pressure marks using the latest remanufacturing technology.
Inside and outside
Alongside cosmetic refinishing, every unit is fully tested at component level - any worn or broken components are replaced or upgraded using potentially your old IT.
Attention to detail
As well as the major components, smaller details such as pointing sticks and laptop feet replacement is built into the remanufacturing process.
Quality control
Rigorous quality control processes during the unique 5+ hour, 360-point remanufacturing, ensures unrivalled quality.
End user experience
The aim is to deliver our laptops in a manner, which is at least on par with a new product experience.
Remanufacturing process
Every laptop goes through an extensive 5+ hour remanufacturing process and over 360-point quality check. Using selected replacement or upgraded components, fully tested batteries and a 1-3 year warranty.
- Remanufactured to international quality standards by fully-qualified technicians at a state-of-the-art production facility
- Comprehensive cosmetic detailing - refinished using selected replacement or upgraded components from e-waste where possible
- ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO45001 accredited processes guarantee consistent remanufactured quality in large volumes
“Recycling 1 million laptop computers can save enough energy to run 3,500 U.S. homes for a year.”
- Environmental Protection Agency
Carbon-Neutral Remanufactured Laptops
Even if your organization continues to purchase new laptops, our partnership with Circular Computing still helps with your sustainability goals and protecting the planet.
However, if you wanted to look at making a bigger difference in terms of reducing your procurement costs and making greater sustainability gains, consider purchasing remanufactured laptops from Circular Computing.
Leading brand, carbon-neutral remanufactured laptops, offer 97% of the performance of the latest models (from an independent study commissioned by Cranfield University) and up to 40% savings compared to brand new.
