The end-of-use tech finding a new life at HPE’s Technology Renewal Center


Listen Later

According to 2023 figures from the World Economic Forum, around 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste is produced every year worldwide.

Combating that is HPE’s Technology Renewal Center (TRC) at Erskine, just outside Glasgow in Scotland. It takes in around 3 million pieces of end of use tech every year to help it find a new life. In fact, according to HPE's figures, 9.2 million assets have been put back into use over the last 3 years.

This week, Michael’s been out visiting the Technology Renewal Center to discover how end of use tech is getting a second chance, with his guide, Ray McGann: Managing Director of HPE Financial Services Ireland, and Worldwide Enterprise IT Asset Lifecycle Leader.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
