IT Reuse – Phones and Computers

Sustainable IT reuse and resource efficiency at Mercur

At Mercur, we take pride in our dedicated efforts to promote sustainability and reduce our environmental impact. By taking actions that encourage the reuse of IT equipment and mobile phones, we aim to maximize resource efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Exchange and Reuse for Extended Lifespan

Our clear policy involves replacing mobile phones and computers every three years. This strategy not only allows us to use the latest technology but also reduces the risk of unnecessary electronic waste disposal. If a device becomes non-functional before its planned replacement cycle, we invest in older models or utilize equipment from former employees. Prioritizing reuse and extended lifespans helps reduce our consumption of new resources and electronics.

Partnerships for Sustainable Recycling

Our collaboration with Dustin is a crucial part of our sustainability strategy. Together with Dustin, we work to ensure that older mobile phones, computers, screens, and other equipment no longer needed in our operations are handled responsibly. Through this process, materials can be recycled, and resources can be efficiently utilized.

Warranties and Repair Collaborations

We strive to minimize unnecessary electronic waste disposal by actively cooperating with our suppliers. When our computers are still under warranty, we collaborate with Lenovo to address any issues or faults. This practice not only extends the lifespan of our equipment but also reduces the need for newly produced electronics.

For a Sustainable Future

Through our efforts to reuse IT equipment and phones, we aim to optimize resource use and minimize our environmental impact. By prioritizing extended lifespans, collaborating with responsible parties, and focusing on repairs, we contribute to a more sustainable future. At Mercur, we are committed to being part of the solution for a sustainable and thriving planet.
