Tab One
Helping to address your concerns, one at a time
There is a stigma with second-hand technology: a number of concerns and issues with non-new laptops.
These negative experiences are part of the reason Circular Computing™ sought to change this view as part of our mission; we sought to do better, both for our customers and the planet.
There are some factors that simply need to be set in motion or rectified to ensure that you can offer Circular Computing™ remanufactured products to your customers and within your own organisation. In creating our service, we have addressed these historic issues one at a time.
Remanufactured, not refurbished
We have been awarded a BSI Kitemark which certifies our Circular Remanufacturing Process produces products 'equal to or better than new' as required by the BS standard BS8887-220 and BS8887-211.
Every laptop goes through the same 5+ hour remanufacturing process to create a single grade of product that is close to new. We commit to this quality whether you take 5 or 5,000 laptops, zero compromise.
EXTENSIVE 5 HOUR+ PROCESS PER LAPTOP
RIGOROUS 360 POINT QUALITY CHECK
UP TO 3 YEAR EXTENTED WARRANTY
We remanufacture to BS 8887 standards by our fully qualified technicians within Circular Computing's purpose-built state of the art production facility.
ISO 9001 accredited processes mean that we can guarantee consistent quality of the same model in large volumes, and, with comprehensive cosmetic detailing, every laptop is refinished to exacting quality standards.
Become a reseller
Our remanufactured HP, Dell and Lenovo laptops come with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD hard drive and Windows 10 Professional installed as standard, with the availability of Configure to Order options on our core models.
Whatever the needs of your customers, we can accommodate them, complete with an up to 3-year warranty on every laptop.

A SUMMARY OF THE GOOD YOU ARE DOING
You are doing a whole world of good through deciding to buy this laptop instead of a new laptop.
Buying new laptops has a bigger footprint than you think. In fact, a Circular Computing remanufactured laptop produces only 6.34% of the CO2 compared with an average new laptop. That’s over 15 times less CO2.
This multiplies when you’re a medium or large business that procures thousands of laptops for your employees.
The sustainable alternative to new is remanufactured laptops.
CO2 REDUCTION
For every circular computing remanufactured laptop, approximately 316kg of CO2 emissions are prevented by not buying new.
WATER SAVING
Over 190,000 litres of water is saved from being used for extraction, refining and production of one new computer and its components. For the average American, that is enough drinking water for over 700 years.
RESOURCE PRESERVATION
1,200kg of the earth’s resources are mined and consumed to manufacture the necessary materials to create each component of one new laptop. Remanufacturing prevents the consumption of these resources.
REVERSAL OF LEGACY CARBON EMISSIONS
We plant five trees for every laptop we sell to help compensate for the ‘embodied’ carbon emissions from its original manufacture and first three years of use.
REFORESTATION PARTNERSHIPS
The forests that you are helping restore will alleviate poverty through income diversity for the poorest communities, and restore soils, water and biodiversity.
ZERO E-WASTE
We produce zero e-waste through the Circular Computing™ remanufacturing process.
The world's first remanufactured laptop bsi kitemark
Reducing the IT carbon footprint
5 trees are planted for every laptop purchased through our reforestation partners, WeForest and One Tree Planted. So far, we have planted 305,208 trees, which will help sequester and reduce the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
We also support social projects and solar, wind and clean energy projects that create jobs and continue to allow access to renewable energy - something the Earth sorely needs.
Remanufactured not refurbished - There is a world of difference
Every laptop goes through our BSI Kitemark certified Circular Remanufacturing Process. A 360 step, 5+ hour journey per laptop that "returns a used product to at least its original performance with a warranty that is equivalent to (or better than) new" as required by the BS standard BS8887-220 and BS8887-211.
