Reducing Carbon Footprint
Over 270 million new laptops are shipped annually and every leading manufacturer such as HP, Dell, and Lenovo details each new products carbon footprint.
A typical product report from a new manufacturer shows they expect the product’s first life to be 4 years when calculating its carbon footprint.
Once in the circular economy, the carbon footprint of the device can be brought down to zero through the British Standards Institue (BSI) refurbishment process.
77% of the carbon footprint is from manufacturing, 6% distribution, 17% use and less than 1% for its second life management.
At second life stage, Ikonic refurbish and put back into circulation. The BSI refurbishment process leaves a significantly lower carbon footprint than new.

Sustainable Facts You Can Rely On: No Greenwashing
All of our support and sustainability facts are referenced and cross-checked by our sustainability partners, Play It Green
Positive Impact
For every purchase, a tree is planted and a charitable donation made to minimise the products legacy social & emissions impact
Planting a tree with Play It Green & Eden has a carbon offset value of 73.8-100kg per tree
Avoid CO2 emissions
The manufacture of laptops emits carbon. You can prevent CO2 emissions by not buying new and encouraging a circular economy.
The original equipment manufacturers (OEM) supply each products carbon footprint.
A HP 840 G5 emits 290kg CO2eq. per unit manufactured. BSI refurbishment takes 15kg to process. So a total saving of 275kg CO2eq. per every unit.
Prevent E-waste
Enable the circular economy by stopping old IT from going to landfill.
We calculate an average weight of e-waste prevented based on original product specification sheets.
Preserve Water
From the refining and manufacture of a new laptop
Brunel University conducted a study of water consumption at manufacture of a 5kg laptop. As the average weight of a laptop is 2.5kg, we halved the study for accuracy.
Preserve 95,696 litres of water per unit, by purchasing BSI refurbished.
Prevent Production Waste
Every manufacture of IT creates waste from the production and refinement process of raw materials.
Avfall Sverige, a Swedish waste management authority, conducted a study showing the production waste at 1,200kg per every laptop.
