Circular IT strategy

Supporting reuse, recovery and responsible lifecycle management

Where devices no longer hold buy-back value, or customers choose to donate equipment, Probrand works with accredited partners to refurbish and repurpose hardware for schools, charities and community organisations.

Reuse and recycling remain central to our logistics operation, helping reduce waste and extend product lifecycles wherever possible.

Over 95% of packaging entering our warehouse is reused for outbound deliveries. Where reuse is not possible, all packaging is recycled. We never use or purchase plastic or single-use packaging materials.

Responsible Technology Beyond Procurement

Sustainability goes beyond energy-efficient technology. IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) enables organisations to securely retire devices through reuse, refurbishment and recycling, reducing e-waste while maximising technology value throughout its lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sustainable IT procurement means considering the environmental and social impact of technology throughout its lifecycle, from product manufacture and energy consumption to transportation, reuse and end-of-life disposal. It enables organisations to make more responsible purchasing decisions while still meeting their performance and budget requirements.
The Probrand Procurement Platform supports compliant IT purchasing through structured procurement workflows, supplier comparison, approval controls and detailed audit documentation. This helps organisations demonstrate transparency, value for money and adherence to their procurement policies.
EPEAT and ENERGY STAR are certifications and standards that can help IT buyers identify products with recognised environmental and energy-efficiency characteristics. Using sustainability filters when sourcing technology makes it easier to compare products and incorporate environmental considerations into purchasing decisions.
Refurbished IT equipment can help extend product lifecycles, reduce electronic waste and avoid the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new devices. Refurbishment can also provide a cost-effective alternative for organisations looking to improve the sustainability of their IT estate without compromising their budget.
Organisations can reduce IT waste by extending device lifecycles, refurbishing and reusing equipment, donating suitable devices and recycling hardware responsibly when it reaches the end of its useful life. A structured IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) process can help ensure retired equipment is securely and responsibly managed.
IT Asset Disposition is the process of securely managing technology at the end of its useful life. Effective ITAD can maximise opportunities for reuse and refurbishment, reduce e-waste and ensure equipment that cannot be reused is responsibly recycled, while also addressing data security and compliance requirements.
IT procurement can contribute to carbon reduction by prioritising energy-efficient products, extending device lifecycles, reducing waste, considering refurbished technology and choosing suppliers with measurable environmental commitments. Sustainable procurement can therefore form part of a broader organisational carbon reduction strategy.
