Environmental Thesis
A laptop’s manufacturing process generates approximately 80% of its total lifetime CO2 emissions.
Extending a laptop’s lifespan is more environmentally beneficial than regularly replacing it, even if the new model is more energy-efficient. Repairing laptops is essential for prolonging their lifespan, but research shows that about 55% of privately-owned laptops in Europe go unrepaired, even when it’s feasible to fix them. Moreover, broken laptops are electronic waste, a category which is among the least recycled (less than 40%) and fastest-growing (approximately 8%) types of waste in Europe. For Ambienta, TRC facilitates repairs for laptops through its service offering and by doing so, extends the lifespan of these devices compared to those that are privately-owned. Consequently, TRC reduces the demand for new laptop production, resulting in significant Material Saved and CO2 Emissions Reduced.
