The refurbished appliance market
The market for reconditioned test and measurement equipment is growing steadily. According to recent estimates, it is set to reach a value of several billion dollars by 2025. This growth is due in part to the increasing demand for test and measurement equipment in sectors such as electronics, automotive, telecommunications and healthcare.
One of the main advantages of reconditioned appliances is their significantly lower cost compared to new equipment. In general, reconditioned equipment costs 30% to 70% less than its new counterpart. This enables companies to make significant savings while maintaining high quality standards.
At AXITEST, all our reconditioned devices are checked, tested and calibrated in our metrology laboratory to ensure they work properly, and are guaranteed for up to 12 months.
What's more, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a central issue. Companies are striving to reconcile their activities with sustainable and ethical practices, and this extends to the choice of equipment and devices used on a daily basis. Reconditioned test and measurement equipment is emerging as an attractive CSR option for companies concerned about their environmental impact and social responsibility. In addition to the economic aspect, this article explores why reconditioned equipment is an intelligent decision for companies committed to CSR.
Reducing Electronic Waste
One of the main advantages of reconditioned test and measurement equipment is its contribution to reducing electronic waste. Rather than allowing obsolete or unused equipment to accumulate in landfill sites, companies can opt for reconditioned equipment. Extending the lifespan of these devices limits the demand for the production of new equipment, thereby reducing the amount of electronic waste that is harmful to the environment.
Saving Resources
The production of new electronic devices requires a considerable amount of natural resources, energy and water. Opting for reconditioned equipment saves these precious resources, helping to preserve the environment.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
The production, distribution and disposal of electronic equipment have an impact on greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing reconditioned test and measurement equipment, companies can reduce their carbon footprint by avoiding the production of new equipment and minimizing transport requirements.
Commitment to Quality
Responsible companies attach great importance to the quality of their products and services. Reconditioned test and measurement equipment undergoes rigorous certification procedures to guarantee its proper functioning. In this way, companies can rely on reliable equipment while reducing their environmental impact.
Support for the Circular Economy
Buying reconditioned equipment helps promote the circular economy, where products and materials are reused, repaired and recycled instead of being thrown away. This philosophy is at the heart of CSR and the fight against waste.
In conclusion, reconditioned test and measurement equipment offers an opportunity for companies to make an informed CSR choice. They reduce e-waste, save resources, cut carbon emissions and save money, while guaranteeing the necessary quality. By opting for reconditioned equipment, companies can play an active role in building a more sustainable future, while respecting their CSR commitments.
