Sustainable Practices

Our goal at 1it is to do things differently – smartly, responsibly, and thoughtfully. All our operations are based on the principles of sustainability and the circular economy. We don’t produce new devices. We don’t offer anything superfluous. We simply give existing items a new life.

♻️ Our Business Model = Circular Economy

All our computers and accessories come from European companies where they have been used for business. When they reach us, we thoroughly test them, clean them, replace worn parts if necessary, and install a legal and clean Windows 11 operating system. The end result? A computer that works like new – but without creating a new burden on the environment.

🌍 Less Waste, Smaller CO₂ Footprint

Producing a new laptop can generate up to 250–300 kg of CO₂. Our refurbished devices help prevent this. Every computer sold means less electronic waste, less wasted raw materials, and a reduced need for energy production.

📦 Sensible Packaging, Minimal Waste

We use new, yet sensible, packaging materials in our shipments and strive to ensure the device arrives safely and intact. Our goal is not to over-package – but to package smartly.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Customer Who Cares

When you buy a computer from our store, you’re actually doing more than just making a purchase. You’re supporting more environmentally friendly consumption, helping to extend the lifespan of devices, and consciously choosing an alternative to new production.
