A second life for TOUGHBOOK devices with sustainable remanufacturing

Of course, one of the challenges of remanufacturing a Panasonic rugged device – compared to a regular laptop – is the additional elements built into our devices that makes them so tough. It is a much more complex operation to remanufacture a rugged device over a regular laptop but both organisations were committed to solving the issues and contributing to a sustainable use of technology.

Circular Computing will take each device and put it through an extensive 5+ hour remanufacturing process and 360-point quality check to deliver unrivalled quality and consistency. Devices will be remanufactured to BS8887 standards by fully qualified technicians within Circular Computing's purpose-built state of the art production facility.

Circular Computing, with the world’s first BSI KITEMARK certified remanufacturing process for laptops, will also guarantee consistent quality of the same model in large volumes and, with comprehensive cosmetic detailing, every TOUGHBOOK will be refinished to exacting quality standards. It’s a terrific start. Circular Computing’s remanufactured consumer laptops are already popular with environmentally aware organisations, as well as the education sector, and small, medium organisations with budget constraints. We are hoping that many more organisation that require rugged devices will also look at this option.

Once the first remanufactured TOUGHBOOK model is available, work on other popular models in the range will follow. 

We are very proud to be the first rugged computing provider to embrace this environmentally sustainable opportunity with Circular Computing and our aim is that in the future our customers and our channel providers need never throw another TOUGHBOOK device away.
