Sustainability and Community

Better for students, better for the planet

When you choose Laptops for Less, you are doing more than buying a laptop. You are reducing e-waste, giving quality technology a second life, and supporting a program that puts students first.

Every device is carefully tested and made affordable so it is ready for study and reliable for daily use. By extending the life of each laptop, we cut down on landfill, promote recycling, and make better use of resources.

This program began with a focus on students, but it has grown to support staff and community members as well. Each purchase is a simple choice that creates real impact for students, for the community, and for the planet.

But the environmental impact goes much deeper than you might realise. Every time you choose a refurbished laptop over a new one, you're making a significant difference to our planet's future.

The Hidden Environmental Cost
Manufacturing a single new laptop requires enormous resources such fossil fuels, chemicals and water

By choosing refurbished, you're helping avoid this massive environmental cost entirely and giving a device and parts a second life.

The Numbers That Matter

Up to 97% lower environmental impact compared to new laptops (ADEME Study, France).

Around 80–90% less CO₂ emissions per device (Fraunhofer Austria & Refurbed).

Over 1,000 kg of raw materials and 190,000 L of water saved per laptop (Circular Computing).

Every refurbished laptop prevents e-waste and keeps valuable materials in use longer.

Global e-waste exceeds 50 million tonnes a year choosing refurbished helps cut that impact down.
