What happens to a device once it reaches the end of its lease? Is it really the end of its useful life, or could it have a second one?

In this episode of Sustainable IT Talks, hosts Allard Pheifer (CHG-MERIDIAN) and Ola Fagerström (Microsoft Sweden) are joined by Gisle Andersen from CHG-MERIDIAN’s Technology Center in Skien, Norway, to explore what happens to IT equipment after it leaves its first user.

The conversation looks at why giving technology a second life matters, what happens during the refurbishment process, and how devices can be prepared for their next chapter.

But when it comes to enterprise technology, refurbished does not simply mean “used.” So how can refurbished technology meet enterprise standards? What does it take to ensure quality, security, reliability and performance, and give organizations confidence in technology that has already had a previous life?

As always, the discussion is open, practical and unscripted, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the technology lifecycle and what a more circular approach to IT can look like in practice.

Sustainable IT Talks is sponsored by CHG-MERIDIAN, but the discussions, opinions and insights are entirely those of the participants.
