Discussion of the triple bottom line benefits of server refurbishment

Abstract

With a growing legislative push towards circularity and benefits in terms of staff attraction and retention, investment and turnover to companies who can display good sustainability credentials, more and more companies in the data centre sector are interested in adopting circular economy practices. This paper outlines the benefits of this on the triple bottom line of social, environmental and cost impacts. It also identifies the best use cases for refurbished components and remanufactured machines.
