How Companies Can Manage Their IT Equipment Sustainably and Cost-Effectively

Companies can manage IT equipment sustainably and cost-effectively by adopting circular models that include buyback, refurbishment, reuse, and recycling, reducing waste, lowering costs, and embedding CSR directly into IT asset management.

Rethinking IT Asset Management

Traditional IT equipment management often leads to wasted assets, high storage costs, and unnecessary environmental impact.

This episode explores how companies can redesign their IT lifecycle to be both more efficient and more responsible.

A Turnkey Circular Solution for Corporate IT

We welcome Yoann Alvarez, co-founder of Save Market, alongside his partner Gary Chiche.

Together, they built a transparent, end-to-end solution that covers:

• Logistics and collection of IT fleets
• Asset valuation
• Refurbishment and recycling
• Reintegration of equipment into the market

This approach simplifies complex IT asset processes for companies.

Saving Costs While Reducing Environmental Impact

By buying back corporate IT fleets and refurbishing equipment internally, Save Market enables companies to:

• Save money by recovering asset value
• Reduce storage and operational costs
• Free up physical space
• Limit electronic waste

Sustainability becomes a source of operational efficiency.

Embedding CSR Into Core Operations

Rather than treating CSR as a side initiative, this model integrates responsibility directly into IT operations.

Circular IT management helps companies:

• Meet sustainability and ESG objectives
• Reduce their environmental footprint
• Demonstrate concrete, measurable impact

CSR becomes actionable and scalable.

Why Circular IT Models Scale

This conversation highlights why circular economy principles work particularly well for IT equipment.

Key success factors include:

• Standardized processes
• Transparency across the value chain
• Internal refurbishment capabilities
• Alignment between financial and environmental incentives

These elements allow sustainable IT management to scale across organizations.
