The article discusses Circular IT as a vital strategy for businesses aiming to enhance sustainability while reducing operational costs through hardware refurbishment. Emphasizing a shift away from the traditional linear 'take, make, waste' model, it highlights how refurbished hardware aligns with sustainability targets set by governments and businesses. Grant Hoffman from HP underlines four main drivers for this trend—sustainability, legislation, cost, and flexibility—indicating that many organizations are now prioritizing refurbished solutions to meet both economic and ecological goals.
"Cost for us is a big deal as it comes up in every deal. As much as somebody will say, hey, I'm all about sustainability, the real question they're going to ask is 'what's the cost of this device?'"
"And on flexibility; there are a lot of folks that just do not want to invest in a new unit. The idea is that they can have a renewed device for a little bit lower cost, and they can have the flexibility on when."
