Our Sustainability Practices

In addition to our core focus of refurbishing computers and laptops to be reused instead of prematurely recycled,
we also make great effort to be sustainable in our overall operations.

  • Keeping HVAC system clean
  • Using LED lighting.
  • Keeping unused lights off.
  • Utilizes a programmable thermostat.

Waste

  • ​Packaging our shipments in corrugated paper product, not plastic wrap.
  • Reusing packing products in the warehouse.
  • All of our office furniture (desks, chairs, cabinets) are second hand.
  • Building rennovations used recycled steel, low VOC paint/glues and marmoleum flooring
  • Using online billing/payment options.
  • Composting food waste.
  • Recycling kitchen waste (cans, bottles, newspaper, etc).
