EU Circular Economy Act

Driving Sustainable Manufacturing

The EU Circular Economy Act that is being introduced in 2026 is set to introduce measures that encourage the use of secondary materials in manufacturing, helping to close the loop on resource use.

This is changing how manufactures approach their waste and recycling during manufacture – especially within IT and Print. At FUTERA, we aim to follow these principles by extending the lifecycle of technology assets through refurbishment and reuse. By embracing circular economy, we help businesses reduce their environmental footprint, comply with environmental expectations, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainable energy operations.

Environmental Benefits of Refurbishment

Every refurbished device keeps more materials out of landfill and reduces the carbon impact of manufacturing new hardware.

Our device refurbishment programme helps cut electronic waste and energy consumption produced in the manufacture of new devices. By choosing to refurbish devices over new piece of hardware, businesses can reduce their indirect impact on greenhouse gasses and Scope 3 emissions while contributing to a more responsible device lifecycle.

Upgrade Over Replace

Modern hardware is often prematurely replaced despite having years of potential life left. Upgrading components can give a new lease of life to older devices. The result? Faster performance, longer usability, and a lower total cost of ownership—all without the environmental impact of purchasing new hardware.

IT teams are under pressure to do more with less. Our circular IT model helps reduce waste by identifying reuse opportunities across your organisation. Devices that may no longer meet the needs of power users can be refurbished and redeployed elsewhere. Through smart asset management and device lifecycle plans, we help you reduce unnecessary procurement.

Device Refresh

Our IT refresh programmes are designed to support businesses looking to give new life to their devices.

Whether you’re standardising hardware across departments, repurposing devices for new users, we manage the process start to finish collection, refurbishment, redeployment. It’s an efficient, environmentally friendly way to keep your infrastructure current without unnecessary spend.

Supporting Businesses & End Users Alike

FUTERA supports businesses of all sizes, from dealers to end users, with logical solutions that help achieve your sustainability and cost saving goals.

From simple refresh plans to supplying refurbished devices to schools or non-profits, we ensure technology continues to serve with purpose. We offer flexible service options, fast turnaround times, and certified refurbishment—all backed by warranty and supported from our UK-based service centre.

I’ve got the best print solution now!”
