Legacy IT end-user computing suffers from massive e-waste.
50%
Endpoint devices represent nearly fifty percent of greenhouse gas emissions in most enterprises (Gartner 2022).
30%
Yet, even before remote work took off, up to thirty percent of fixed IT assets were ghost assets: lost, stolen, or otherwise missing (Gartner 2017).
Maximize reuse throughout your equipment lifecycle and beyond to create a more sustainable IT footprint.

IT sustainability isn’t about recycling at end-of-life. A circular IT economy relies on reuse to reduce waste by extending the effective life of whole devices.
Set your device sustainability in motion with Firstbase
Our platform is built from the ground up to optimize your IT equipment assets so you can deliver on your environmental goals.
Transforming your employee equipment process requires dealing with legacy devices. Only Firstbase can ingest your pre-existing backstock of laptops and retrieve and reuse your currently deployed devices as they return from employees.
Firstbase combines SaaS automation and reporting, combined with full cycle procurement, physical inventory management, logistics, and IT operations. We’ll even help you choose more durable and reusable equipment based on our vendor-agnostic view of which devices perform best in the real world.
There’s no way to effectively reuse devices when they come back from employees if you can’t manage repairs, and if you don't have real estate to keep physical inventory. Firstbase manages this reuse cycle for you at scale, until your life reaches end-of-life.
When you procure computing devices via Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS), you ensure that financial incentives align with extending reuse beyond your fleet lifecycle. Lease holders sell our returned devices whole to maximize their returns, granting your devices a more sustainable second life.
See how much your organization can save annually by transforming your remote employee equipment management processes.

We implement sustainable practices across our physical operations, from responsible recycling, to using ground vs. air transportation whenever possible while meeting fast response times, to optimizing packaging for lowest material use and highest reuse. We also ensure through certified recycling that no device goes into landfill.
