a smarter and more sustainable IT procurement strategy for your council - available through public procurement frameworks
Sustainable IT for a circular economy
Within government, ICT has been proven to be a key component for any solution to the global climate crisis. Procuring carbon-neutral remanufactured laptops means your organisation will be one step closer to achieving 'net zero' carbon.
Our remanufactured HP, Dell and Lenovo laptops are already at the centre of the circular economy, for up to 40% less of the price than new models, which immediately benefits public resources and planetary reserves.
PROCURE REMANUFACTURED WITH CONFIDENCE
Our laptops all go through the same BSI Kitemark™ certified Circular Remanufacturing Process, meaning every laptop has a complete inside-and-out refresh - guaranteeing consistent premium quality in large volumes with every laptop.
The awarding of the BSI Kitemark certifies that our process produces products 'equal to or better than new' as required by the BS standard BS8887-220 and BS8887-211.
CERTIFIED BSI KITEMARK
UP TO 3 YEAR WARRANTY
SAVE UP TO 40%

Become part of the sustainability story
More and more councils are seeing Circular Computing carbon neutral remanufactured laptops as a crucial part of their IT solution.
Over the course of 2021 we were able to demonstrate that we are a proven alternative to purchasing new, working with Kent, Leicester, Hounslow and Bristol Council.
CASE STUDY
Bristol City Council
For several years now, Bristol City Council have been using remanufactured laptops as part of their IT infrastructure, with the majority of employees using ICT solutions daily.
However, technology is a big contributor to CO₂ emissions in the production phase. Bristol City Council's challenge was to maintain the required operational levels while not contradicting the Green Capital remit, or compromising the user experience.
There was also the concern of cost, particularly when spending public funds it is imperative purchases represent the best value.
CO2 prevented
456,000 kg of CO₂ equivalent greenhouse gases prevented at manufacture
CO2 sequestered
720,000 kg of CO₂ equivalent greenhouse gases sequestered from the atmosphere
Water saved
228,000,000 litres of water has been saved from the production of new materials
E-WASTE AVOIDED
1,440,000 kg of e-waste, avoiding disposal at landfill
Covered by our return to base warranty
A 1-year return to base (RTB) warranty is offered as standard on all our remanufactured laptop models, which can be increased to a 3-year warranty on the core models.
We will ensure a replacement is sent out the next working day; working from home or in the office, we’ll get them up and running again with minimal downtime.
Providing social value through IT
The way we address procurement for the public sector, much like the rest of our company, is based within the circular economy and with one thing in mind: sustainability; without compromising quality.
With Circular Computing's unique remanufacturing process, when you want to upgrade or change to newer machines, we can take back the previous products to begin the remanufacturing process all over again.
Our remanufactured laptops are certified carbon-neutral, helping reduce your organisation's carbon footprint and contribute towards the UK's Environmental Bill of net zero by 2050' and can be included in an organisation's Scope 3 report.
We also invest into reforestation, carbon reduction and clean energy projects that create significant social value, in-keeping with environmental policies that pass on to your organisation.
