Every year, more than 60 million tonnes of electronic waste are generated globally – roughly the equivalent of discarding around 1,000 laptops every second. Electronic waste is now one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world, making it increasingly important to extend the life of the electronics we already produce. By doing so, we can reduce e-waste, recover valuable natural resources and lower our overall carbon footprint (Source).
The rapid growth of electronic waste highlights a major challenge, but also a significant opportunity for businesses.
For companies across Europe, circular economy is no longer only a sustainability ambition. It is increasingly becoming a strategic business priority. By extending the lifetime of products, recovering valuable materials and keeping resources in circulation for longer, companies can reduce costs, strengthen supply chain resilience and lower their environmental footprint.
At the same time, new EU regulations are pushing companies to take greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and equipment. For businesses, this means that managing electronics more responsibly is becoming both a compliance issue and a competitive advantage.
This is where GreenMind comes in
GreenMind is a Danish circular technology company working to extend the life of electronics through repair, refurbishment and resale. By giving devices a second life, GreenMind helps reduce electronic waste while enabling companies to recover value from equipment that would otherwise be discarded.
Through solutions such as device buy-back, refurbishment and resale, GreenMind supports businesses in managing their electronics more sustainably while contributing to the transition towards a circular economy.
In practice, companies can send their used electronics – smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers – to GreenMind. The devices are securely data-wiped in accordance with the ISAE 3402 standard, tested and refurbished. After the process, companies receive documentation that can support their ESG and sustainability reporting. Devices that pass our quality tests are resold, while defective units are repaired or responsibly recycled.
