Sustainable value of things come from their ability to circulate! Using a Tier1 Asset device, you reuse a set of valuable natural resources, contribute to the reduction of CO2 and limit global resource exploitation. Your Tier1 Asset computer becomes one of the 250.000 annually refurbished units, that limits the amount of CO2 by approx.270 kg.

3. Circular Economy is..
…a regenerative system where waste, CO2 emission, and energy leakage
are minimized by slowing and narrowing material and energy loops.
Refurbishing, reuse and repair are some of the essential ways to adopt
circular practices
4. …Only a quarter of the total 8.7 million tons of electronic waste
produced annually in the EU is recycled
Why Circular Practices Are Important? Because…
5. Why Circular Practices Are Important? Because…
…electronic waste intoxicates nearly every system in the human body
because they contain a wide range of toxic components. Exposed in
the environment they pollute water, soil and air.
6. Why Should You Adopt Circular Practices? Because..
…from an economic point of view, overexploitation of non-renewable
resources lead to ressource scarcity meaning that supply chains will not
have the necessary raw materials for manufacturing goods
7. When you use a Tier1 Asset refurbished device, you reuse a
set of valuable natural resources, contribute to the reduction
of CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency
Improve Sustainability With Tier1 Asset
8. With Tier1 Asset you benefit from products that
are subject to a circular, upcycling process
Circular Economy With Tier1 Asset
9. The upcycling process involves product handling, data
erasure, classification and preparation.

Re-defining Value – The Manufacturing Revolution

Alene i EU bliver der hvert år produceret 8,7 mio. ton elektronikaffald, men kun 2,1 mio. ton – altså mindre end en fjerdedel – indsamles eller genanvendes via et kontrolleret system. De resterende 6,6 mio. ton eller ca. 75 pct. ved ingen præcis, hvad der sker med. Undersøgelser foretaget af Greenpeace tyder dog på, at en del af affaldet ender som del af en illegal strøm af elektronikskrot, der går fra vesten til primært Asien og Afrika. Her står lokale opkøbere klar til at aftage affaldet for at videresælge værdifulde metaller som f.eks. bly og jern.
“Electronic waste affects nearly every system in the human body because they contain a plethora of toxic components including Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Polybrominated Flame Retardants, Barium and Lithium. Even the plastic casings of electronics products contain Polyvinyl Chloride. The health effects of these toxins on humans include birth defects, brain, heart, liver, kidney and skeletal system damage. They will also significantly affect the nervous and reproductive systems of the human body. “

“E-waste statistics are not only relevant in terms of the environmental impact; there is also an important economic component to the debate. The total value of all raw materials present in e-waste is estimated at approximately 55 Billion Euros in 2016, which is more than the 2016 Gross Domestic Product of most countries in the world.”
