IT Second Life as a Contribution to Circular Economy
IT Second Life as a Joint Work Project
Employees have the chance to acquire used and refurbished IT equipment which is no longer used at the company for a good price. The project was created by the Green Tech department of the company. Several locations and project teams from CES worked together to make it possible. Together with erasoo GmbH which organizes the sale and distribution of the used IT hardware, this joint work project was made possible.
General IT Second Life Procedure
Employees from Europe have the chance to contact their local IT department to replace their IT equipment. These departments collect the hardware and send it to the Product Solutions team in Karben in an efficient way to ensure low emissions. The team at the location then refurbishes the hardware which is the most relevant step in the project to ensure cyber security compliance. Afterwards, erasoo GmbH then cleans the hardware, determine the value of the devices, pack them and sell them in their webshop.
