But it’s becoming clearer and clearer that our belief that “newer is better” has to be balanced against an understanding that relentless manufacturing comes at a cost.
So where does this leave the forward-thinking, responsible business in need of cutting edge tools and technologies that won’t cost the Earth?
Well, at Atom we’re always looking to provide our clients with options. And in BornGood we think we’ve found a great solution. BornGood works with a host of businesses across the UK to repurpose, recycle, resell, or donate old or unwanted IT equipment for effective reuse. They want to help challenge the disposable attitude towards single-life tech and we’re here for it.
More sustainable IT hardware solutions
The aim is to provide more sustainable solutions for businesses and organisations wanting to update or build out their hardware without the consumption of new products and batteries – both of which place more pressure on natural resources.
BornGood’s primary mission is to improve the life cycle and sustainability of IT hardware. Its team wants to challenge the way organisations think about old or unwanted IT equipment. That fits with our ethos too: why not take steps to ensure that the lifecycle of your hardware is that little bit longer and that your approach is that bit greener?
As Atom Managing Director, Dean Cowens, explains: “As an organisation we’re looking at how we can reduce our own environmental impact and we know that our clients are concerned with this, too.
“With partners like BornGood we’re committed to finding greener solutions that are also high quality, cost effective and add real value to businesses. As a leading North East IT services provider, we want to set an example, lead the way and do our bit for the environment wherever we can. BornGood can help us achieve that.”
How the partnership benefits our clients
BornGood offers a range of different approaches to managing IT hardware resources efficiently, or to supply or re-deploy reconditioned equipment which is safe, secure and effectively good as new.
‘Hardware as a Service’ is a prime example, giving you the chance to upgrade, repurpose or renew established devices to extend their life span. That helps reduce your business expenditure, whilst boosting your green credentials and ensuring you still have top-notch refurbished IT hardware.
As you would expect, privacy, security and protection of data is also a priority. And in partnership with BornGood all of our services ensure that hardware is clean and safe before it is is put back into stock or sent for recycling.
And when all is said and done, in cases where IT equipment is no longer doing its job, we’re working with BornGood to arrange safe and environmentally sustainable disposal.
