🌍 80% Carbon Reduction: Refurbished Gear’s Hidden Environmental Impact Data center sustainability isn’t just about energy use, hardware manufacturing’s carbon footprint is a silent culprit. A single new server generates 1,200-2,000 kg of CO₂e during production, but refurbished equipment slashes that by 80% by reusing existing resources. At Green IT Now, this has translated to 62,064,921 pounds of CO₂ avoided since 2010, equivalent to removing 160 cars from the road for a year 🧶 .EU’s CSRD directive mandates Scope 3 emission disclosures, including hardware manufacturing. Refurbished gear lets you meet these requirements without overhauling your operations. Our cloud-native monitoring further optimizes energy use, ensuring your data center’s sustainability goes beyond procurement. Every reused device isn’t just cost-effective, it’s a step toward a lower carbon footprint.Are you struggling to quantify your hardware’s environmental impact?  Use our carbon calculator to see how refurbished gear moves the needle on your ESG goals 🧑‍💻 .#GreenITNow #GreenIT #CarbonReduction #ESGCompliance #SustainableDataCenter
