The newly formed partnership will enable Atos to expand its net zero transformation portfolio with carbon neutral remanufactured laptops to support its clients to reach their sustainability goals. Circular Computing produces at-scale, preused HP, Dell and Lenovo laptops that are equal to or better than new. The BSI Kitemark certifies that the Circular remanufacturing process delivers a laptop that has ‘at least equivalent performance and warranty that is equivalent or better than that of the newly manufactured product’. With its ISO9001 accredited processes, Circular Computing can guarantee consistent quality of the same model in large volumes, and, with comprehensive cosmetic detailing, every laptop is refinished to exacting quality standards using Circular Computing’s extensive 360 stage, five+ hour circular remanufacturing process in its purpose-built, state of the art production facility. Atos initially rolled out the product across its own business to support its net zero ambition to make sure it had a thorough understanding of the customer experience, and has now broadened this out to its customers, as part of a digital workplace offering related to lowering emissions. https://atos.net www.circularcomputing.com Tenable recognised by Ingram Micro Tenable has been named Vendor of the Year by Ingram Micro.
