When you buy a used PC, you're helping to reduce your carbon footprint in a number of ways.

In a few words : buying a second-hand PC reduces your carbon footprint by avoiding the manufacture of a new device, limiting greenhouse gas emissions linked to transport, avoiding the generation of electronic waste and promoting the circular economy. It's an ecological and sustainable alternative for your IT needs.

Manufacturing a new computer requires the extraction of raw materials and a significant amount of energy. By opting for a second-hand PC, you avoid the production of a new device, which reduces the consumption of natural resources and energy associated with its manufacture.
Transporting a new computer from its place of manufacture to the point of sale generates greenhouse gas emissions, especially when imported from abroad. By choosing a used PC locally, you limit the emissions linked to transport.
Obsolete or end-of-life computers are often poorly managed and can lead to water, soil and air pollutionas well as risks to human health. By buying a used PC, you extend its useful life and prevent it from becoming electronic waste prematurely, thus contributing to the reduction of electronic waste.
Finally, buying a used PC is part of a circular economy approach, which aims to reuse and add value to existing products rather than producing new ones. By encouraging the reuse of computers, you help reduce demand for new equipmentThis reduces the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their production.
