Introduction
The way businesses manage IT equipment is changing. Instead of following the traditional “buy, use, discard” model, more companies are embracing the circular economy—a system where products are reused, refurbished, and recycled to maximize value and minimize waste. RefHub is leading this shift in Kenya by making it easy for businesses to buy, sell, and repurpose IT assets.
What is Circular IT?
Circular IT is about extending the lifecycle of technology. Rather than letting old devices gather dust or adding to e-waste, businesses find ways to keep hardware in use longer through:
- Refurbishment
- Resale
- Recycling
Why It Matters in Kenya
Kenya’s digital transformation is growing fast, but with it comes rising e-waste. Adopting circular IT practices helps organizations:
- Reduce operating costs
- Contribute to environmental sustainability
- Support Kenya’s green growth goals
- Promote digital inclusion by making tech affordable
