ITV’s shocking Amazon investigation revealed how millions of goods are destroyed…

They found a leaked document showing more than 130,000 items marked “destroy” in one week in April, in one UK warehouse.

Multiplied by the number of Amazon’s operations around the world, the total numbers are surely out of the stratosphere.

But why do Amazon do this, with the world an environmental crisis and pandemic, surely it would boost Amazon’s profile to donate everything to those that need help?

This is not good for anyone, including the environment (as new products then get made to replace the ones destroyed). There’s only one winner, and that’s Amazon.

The model is stack them high and sell them quick. If they don’t sell and the market-place reseller can’t afford the storage rates, destroy them, and get other products in to start the process again.

This business model goes against everything we believe in, and it’s just adding to the climate crisis.

Technology (in particular) has progressed much quicker in terms of features, than most organisations will ever need, it seems every 6 months manufacturers stick on a few more whistles and bells, give it a different name and convince customers to upgrade their slightly older model.

We see it all the time with print & scan technology and laptops are another good example. Most organisations don’t need the latest gizmos, they just want equipment fit for their purpose.

Which is why our business model is built on ‘fit for purpose’ refurbished technology, which we provide to our customers for free, saving them £1,000’s, and it’s also good for the environment, as it stops new equipment being manufactured.

How do we make money?

Through our affordable monthly package fees, which cover you for all consumables (including Office 365 on our refurbished laptops) and life-time warranty.

…there’s no lease or long-term contract, just rolling monthly agreements with no strings attached.
