Proof, not promises. Why Irish public bodies and schools choose GreenIT.

The statutory regulator for Irish pension schemes, RACs and PRSAs needed its IT buying to support the Buying Greener Green Public Procurement Strategy without dropping specification. They bought a remanufactured HP EliteBook 840 G7 on Windows 11 Pro, 16GB RAM and Intel i5, through the OGP framework for remanufactured notebooks. Their IT Infrastructure Manager rated warranty cover, delivery and service equal to or better than their previous new-device suppliers.

The local authority needed EPEAT Gold-rated devices on Windows 11 Pro that matched new on quality and warranty cover, to advance its Climate Action Implementation Plan. The remanufactured laptops came in at a 3% failure rate against 17% for brand new, and the council is now testing larger screens for wider rollout.

The state body that markets the island of Ireland overseas set out under its ICT Sustainability Plan to cut the carbon in its notebook estate, the kind of saving you can model with our sustainability calculator for remanufactured laptops. They chose a remanufactured HP EliteBook 840 G7 on Windows 11 Pro with a five-year warranty. Their Head of ICT and Data Protection: the devices are so well remanufactured that they do not feel second-hand.

A school preparing for a new academic year on a fixed budget, with parents unsure what to buy. We consulted the school and its teachers on what the devices actually had to do, then built a curated list at three price points across refurbished laptops, Chromebooks and tablets, adjusted pricing to fit the budget, and added low cost extended warranty and accidental damage cover for devices living in school bags.
