CREATING A MORE SUSTAINABLE COMPUTING WORLD

The production of a new PC has a significant impact on the environment. The mining and processing of raw materials, the manufacturing process, and the transportation of the finished product all contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, the average carbon footprint of a new PC is estimated to be between 300 and 500 kilograms of CO2.

Choosing a refurbished PC instead of a new one can have a significant impact on IT devices carbon footprint. It can help reduce energy consumption, prevent e-waste, and save you money. If you're looking for a new computer, consider buying a refurbished one. It's a great way to be environmentally conscious and save money at the same time.

In Fixmaster, we believe that by having the efforts by societies to adopt Circular PC instead of New PC units, several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SGGs) can be achieved. This include Goal 1 Reduce Poverty, Goals 4 Quality Education, Goal 12 E-Waste Prevention, Goal 13 Carbon Emissions Reduction.

Goals 1 Reduce Poverty
By offering affordable than new computers, making them a more accessible option for people in developing countries. This can help to improve access to education, healthcare, and other essential services.Circluar Computing Culture will also help to move toward UN Sustainble
Goals 4 Quality Education
Where circular computers can help schools in developing countries to improve access to education and learning opportunities. This can help to break the cycle of poverty and improve people's lives.UN SDG
Goal 12 E-Waste Prevention
Can be achieve as well through our efforts. E-waste is a major environmental problem. Refurbished computers help to prevent e-waste by extending the lifespan of old computers.Circualr Computing will also help achieve UN SDG
Goal 13 Carbon Emissions Reduction.
Where Refurbished computers use less energy than new computers,which can help to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
Improving
labor practices.
Improving labor practices. This can be done by ensuring that their suppliers pay their workers a fair wage, provide safe working conditions, and do not use child labor.
Reducing their
carbon footprint.
This can be done by using recycled materials in their products, manufacturing their products in more energy-efficient facilities, and using renewable energy sources.
Efficient
Energy Use
Educating consumers about the environmental and social impacts of laptops. This can help people make more informed choices about the products they buy.
