HP has announced the expansion of its Renew Solutions business, bringing HP Certified Refurbished PCs to customers across the UK. The initiative supports circular economy principles, sustainability goals, and cost-efficient IT management for organisations seeking lower-cost alternatives to new devices.
With businesses increasingly adopting sustainable practices in response to regulations, customer commitments, and evolving consumer preferences, HP’s Certified Refurbished PCs offer a reliable solution for IT teams operating within tight budgets. The portfolio provides high-quality, manufacturer-grade devices while ensuring all sensitive data is securely erased. It addresses concerns highlighted in the HP Wolf Security study, where 41% of UK IT security decision makers cited data security as a significant barrier to PC reuse and recycling.
Ruth Patterson, HP Managing Director for UK&I, emphasised the growing demand for multi-life devices that support circular business models while reducing costs. She stated that HP Certified Refurbished PCs are designed to deliver high-performance devices while helping customers meet sustainability and business objectives, with the added assurance that all sensitive data is fully erased.
HP Certified Refurbished PCs contribute to sustainability efforts by reducing carbon impact and minimising electronic waste, while also allowing customers to lower total cost of ownership without compromising performance. Each device undergoes rigorous testing and refurbishment, ensuring reliability and optimal functionality, backed by a one-year limited warranty. The refurbishment process adheres to NIST standards, guaranteeing complete and verifiable data erasure, reinforcing security for organisations concerned about data protection.
HP’s expanded refurbished PC offering also supports long-term IT strategy by extending the lifecycle of existing devices beyond their initial warranty or service terms. With post-warranty support, businesses can keep their technology running efficiently while planning future upgrades in a way that aligns with their operational and sustainability goals.
