SocialBox.Biz, a leading Community Interest Company dedicated to sustainable tech reuse, has launched its “Spring Clean Your IT” campaign for Earth Day 2025. The company is urging corporate IT managers and CIOs to contact them before scrapping old but functional tech.
The team at SocialBox.Biz encourages IT managers to reach out to them first, before calling scrap companies, so they can assess what can still be re-used. This initiative aims to boost social impact for participating companies.
SocialBox.Biz will collect laptops, MacBooks, and other corporate computer hardware and tech from companies across the UK. They will then securely wipe the data, upgrade the tech with open-source software, and distribute suitable items to vulnerable groups through their charity partners. The company also provides tech labs and training opportunities to those in need.
Several case studies have highlighted the positive impact of these donations. Age UK Islington was able to secure employment for a job seeker, Passage’s Lily was able to shape homeless services, and an Age UK London senior was able to connect digitally thanks to the donated tech.
Peter Paduh, the Founder of SocialBox.Biz, emphasizes the importance of reusing tech in reducing Scope 3 emissions and transforming lives. He urges companies to follow the example of New Look, who has been donating to SocialBox.Biz since 2021.
Interested companies can contact info@socialbox.biz or visit their website, www.socialbox.biz, to schedule collections. They can also follow @SocialBoxBiz on social media to share their contributions.
