As the challenges of e-waste and unsustainable resource consumption intensify, the adoption of circular economy principles offers a viable pathway for IT organizations to mitigate environmental impacts while simultaneously enhancing their operational efficiency and improving the bottom line. The emerging circular economy seeks to keep IT assets in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them during use, and recover materials at the end of their service life. For data centre managers, this means securely repurposing, refurbishing, reselling, and recycling assets to minimise waste and resource consumption. Fortunately, there are many ways to make data centre circularity manageable and even a source of financial benefit. In this session, learn basic principles on how best to maximise the value of your data centre assets, achieve optimal sustainability benefits, and ensure the security of your organisation’s data by incorporating circular practices throughout the IT asset supply chain.
