Compare New and Remanufactured Computers by Carbon Footprint
Comparing devices by carbon footprint before purchasing can reduce environmental impact by as much as 82% [1].
This is because two similar devices, that have both achieved energy and eco-certification, can range from as little as 99 kgCO2e to as much as 560 kgCO2e GHG emissions*
Taking this extra step can also help organisations become compliant with new IT procurement legislation [1] that requires newly purchased devices to be selected using sustainability as a criterion.
“The Px3 EUC estimator and the Dynamic Carbon Footprint device comparison tool go hand in hand for a complete picture.”
Jason Sam-Fat, Commercial Manager,Shared Digital and IT Service for Kingston & Sutton
The Px3 Dynamic Carbon Footprint application is the only scientifically validated tool in the world that can enable you to compare thousands of new and remanufactured desktop computers, laptops, tablets, thin clients and monitors from brands such as Acer, Apple, Asus, Dell, Circular Computing, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft by carbon footprint and on a level playing field.
Created during PhD research with the University of Warwick and Warwick Business School, the Px3 Dynamic Carbon Footprint tool is already helping procurement teams responsible for over 3 million users to select low carbon footprint devices
The Px3 Dynamic Carbon Footprint application
Using a simple and intuitive menu, select the type of device you are interested in (e.g. notebook), how long your organisation may keep the device, what region or country the device is most likely to be used and perhaps the brand, if you have a preference.
Press one button and in less than one second the application will stack rank new and remanufactured devices by carbon footprint or energy efficiency or scope 3 supply chain GHG emissions; the choice is yours.
“We’re already using the Px3 Dynamic Carbon Footprint tool and it is golden. So far it seems they have included more or less exactly the filtering options that makes sense, which is great! The ability to select region of use – which I imagine is a major USP for the tool – is particularly useful. As far as I know there’s nothing like it out there and as the list of devices grows I can’t imagine why companies would go anywhere else to get CO2e information for their hardware inventory and purchasing decisions.”
Kjetil Neergaard, Green Tech Manager, Strawberry Group
Using the compare function, select the device that you fits your needs. Then with one click, produce a bespoke product carbon footprint report that meets international GHG accounting protocol and product lifecycle assessment reporting standards.
Uniquely, the carbon footprint data will be based on where your company operates and for the device lifespan you selected; which isn’t something you can’t do with standard manufacturer reports.
Armed with accurate information, you can then proceed to buy the device via your usual supplier safe in the knowledge that you are driving climate action by accurately selecting low carbon footprint products.
