About Circular IT

Flex IT Distribution and the Circular Economy

Since its inception in 1992, Flex IT Distribution has established itself as one of Europe’s largest IT suppliers, as well as one of the leading advocates for Circular IT. Flex IT Distribution has always acknowledged the importance of utilizing the planet’s resources in a sustainable way, and we regard it as a constant self-esteem to safeguard our planet for future generations. At Flex IT Distribution we see what our mission is to promote, accelerate and enable the transition to Circular Economics. Our goal is to be and remain the leading Circular IT company in Europe – and make sure that more people follow our example.

What does Circular Economics mean?

Circular Economics is a resource-efficient alternative to the traditional linear wear and tear economy. It separates the addiction tradition that has traditionally existed between growth and utilization of Earth’s finite assets. The goal of Circular Economics is to achieve increased growth and value with the help of fewer resources.

Flex IT Distribution circular products and service portfolio

Flex IT Distribution has extensive circular product and service offerings, such as long-term and short-term rental, IT services, leasing, warehouse sales, IT repurchases and Approved Selection. By choosing Flex IT Distribution’s circular model, you make a conscious choice to contribute to a positive development of Economics, Society, Innovation and the Environment. Example: By extending the use of an existing product, you reduce the water supply and pollution that it had meant to produce a new product instead.

Case Study:

Swedish Fair in Gothenburg

Each year more than 1.8 million people from all over the world choose to come to the Swedish Fair to meet, eat and live, develop business, products or ideas. Under a roof there is everything from hotels, shops, theater, spas and restaurants to exhibition halls and different types of meeting arenas.

For several years, the Swedish Exhibition Center has conducted an active sustainability work focusing on environment, accessibility and community engagement. The ambition is to drive sustainable development forward. When Petra Löfås, Sustainability Officer at the Swedish Fair, asked if they could think of expanding their sustainability efforts by donating their endured IT equipment to IT4Kids, the reaction was immediately positive.

In addition to finding another way of contributing to society, this also solved a challenge as Henrik Söderström, client manager at the IT department, like many in the same career role, had been involved for several years: a consistent and efficient routine for the disposal of end-of-life IT hardware .

Less than three months later, IT4Kids performed its first donation in the Swedish Trade Fair. As a recipient, Göteborg’s Rescue Mission project, Solrosen, was chosen – a support project for children who have a parent who is detained. Completely in line with IT4Kid’s basic values.
