At Centerprise International, we believe that once a device exists, it should be fully utilised for as long as possible. This philosophy underpins the mission of Ci Recycling, our in-house IT asset recovery service, which is rapidly closing the gap between devices sold new and devices recovered and given a second life.
We recently undertook an internal assessment to measure our progress toward a bold ambition: achieving one recovered device for every new device sold.
The results? We’re already at 93.71%.
Why This Matters
Reclaiming and reusing IT equipment isn’t just good practice—it’s essential.
Every device repurposed instead of scrapped reduces the demand for raw materials, water, and energy that go into manufacturing new equipment. Reusing what already exists reduces electronic waste, as well as carbon emissions, and prevents valuable materials from ending up in landfills.
Beyond environmental benefits, there’s a compelling economic and ethical case. Refurbished equipment offers organisations a cost-effective alternative while also fulfilling social and corporate responsibility objectives. It’s a tangible way for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
Supporting ESG Goals
One of the greatest advantages of working with Ci Recycling is the data we provide. Every asset we collect is carefully tracked and reported on, supporting our customers with scope-related environmental reporting and helping them better understand their environmental impact. Transparency like this is crucial today when ESG performance is under increasing scrutiny.
Partnering for Greater Impact
One way we’re amplifying our impact is through our longstanding partnership with SunScreen IT, an organisation that shares our commitment to reuse, sustainability, and social value.
Through this collaboration, for all clients introduced to Centerprise by SunScreenIT, Centerprise donates its net margin to the SunScreenIT Foundation Charity. This enables the charity to procure, install, and remotely manage IT labs and classrooms in economically disadvantaged areas in the UK and abroad. Since our partnership began in 2022, this initiative has delivered over 30,000 teaching hours.
This partnership ensures that equipment is not only reused but reused with purpose. It supports digital inclusion while reinforcing environmental responsibility—proving that sustainable IT can also be socially transformative.
Together with SunScreen IT, we’re creating a ripple effect: extending the life of technology, reducing e-waste, and making a tangible difference in communities worldwide.
Looking Ahead
With over 70,000 devices recovered annually, Ci Recycling is making a meaningful impact—helping businesses recover value, reduce waste, and embrace more sustainable IT strategies.
Our 93.71% ratio is not just a number—it’s a milestone that reflects our commitment to a circular IT economy. And we’re not stopping here. As we continue to scale and innovate, we’re determined to bring that figure even closer to 100%.
