A study* validates the savings of approximately 18 kg of CO2 per kilogram of product weight when comparing refurbished devices to new ones. This remarkable reduction results from the diminished demand for raw materials, energy, and transportation associated with new production.
For comparison: a car trip from Berlin to Munich produces about 260 kg of CO2, and the production of 1,000 liters of beer emits approximately 420 kg of CO2.
Moreover, event projector refurbishment also contributes significantly to water conservation. The manufacturing of new electronic equipment often entails a considerable water footprint, whether in raw material extraction, manufacturing, or component cleaning. Refurbishment minimizes this water consumption, fostering a more environmentally responsible use of our limited resources.
