5 good reasons to choose refurbished IT equipment

Wondering how refurbished IT equipment can benefit your business strategy?  

In this article, we present 5 good reasons to choose refurbished equipment for your IT fleet!  

What is refurbished equipment?

In the second-hand world, there are 2 main categories: used and refurbished.  
The used market involves selling or buying a product (usually between private individuals) in its current condition. The item may therefore be new and never used, worn, or even damaged.

The refurbished market, on the other hand, is made up of professionals who collect worn or broken items, restore them to like-new condition and resell them.  

Both approaches have become widely popular in recent years because they are part of an eco-friendly approach. Buying used or refurbished extends a product's lifespan, avoiding the pollution generated by producing new items while also making the most, over time, of the pollution already generated by the product purchased.  

The benefits of refurbished IT equipment

The refurbished market has grown considerably in recent years, especially for electronic equipment. Smartphones, tablets, computers, printers... IT equipment is very easy to find refurbished!  

Here are 5 good reasons to choose refurbished equipment for your IT fleet.  

1. A more affordable price

The refurbished market is part of the second-hand market. This means prices are always more competitive than for new equipment. What's more, when you buy refurbished, you can be sure of getting functional equipment restored to like-new condition.  

2. Fighting digital waste

By choosing refurbished equipment, you help fight digital waste. Refurbishing companies collect used or broken equipment from individuals, businesses and even manufacturers to give it a second life.  

3. Greater flexibility

With refurbished equipment and its more affordable prices, you can buy good-quality hardware, with the power and options that meet your needs, for less. This gives you greater flexibility in managing your IT fleet.  

4. Reducing your carbon footprint

With refurbished equipment, you help extend the lifespan of your IT hardware and thus reduce the CO2 emissions generated by your equipment. This will be an important factor when carrying out your carbon footprint assessment.  ‍

‍5. Guaranteed quality

With refurbished equipment, you work with specialized companies. They can therefore certify that your equipment works properly, in particular by explaining the repairs carried out (battery replacement, new screen...). These specialized companies also offer an included warranty, which can be extended, allowing you to replace your equipment if there is a problem.
