Consulting & Certification

At SocialBox.Biz, we’re committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions and promoting sustainability through our innovative IT reuse program.

How We Help:

Cranfield University Study: States 316 kg CO2 saved per laptop via reuse

• Impact of Donating 1,000 Laptops ( and other tech ):
  • Saves 316 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to taking 69 cars off the road for a year or planting 14,364 trees.
  • Prevents 2,000 kg of e-waste.
  • Supports training and computer access for homeless individuals, refugees, and isolated older people with reused technology.

This service offers businesses a practical way to enhance their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) profiles. We provide secure data wiping, flexible collection options (from small parcels to UK-wide pickups), and a Certificate of CO2 Reduction and Initiative Participation to recognise your contribution and showcase your sustainability efforts.

Recycling Laptops:  In contrast to above , recycling old  laptops, macbooks and other electronics involves energy-heavy processes like shredding and material recovery, producing up to 150kg of CO2 per device. Many discarded devices in the UK are still usable, unnecessarily adding to the e-rubbish mountain and/or emissions. 

How It Works:

1. Contact us to arrange reuse donation services of laptops or other tech items.
2. We handle secure data removal and updates with open-source software innovation.
3. We can assist with hard drive removal if needed on-sites as we can re-use items without hard drives thanks to open source innovation.
