Beyond the Chasing Arrows: Why the IT Industry Should Embrace the New Global Reuse Symbol
Why reuse needs its own symbol
Recycling recovers materials. Reuse keeps the product itself in service. A dedicated symbol makes that distinction easier to recognise when organisations decide what to do with surplus equipment.
What IT teams can do
Assess devices for redeployment, repair or resale before sending them for materials recovery. Pair reuse with secure data erasure and a traceable handover. Recycle devices that cannot safely be returned to service.
