Business description

Renewtech purchases used critical IT infrastructure from suppliers. The data is then securely erased, and the hardware is sorted, tested, refurbished, cleaned and stored, before being sold to B2B customers worldwide through direct webstore, brokers or KAM. Renewtech’s refurbished products provide a 90% lower CO2 footprint than primary material.

Renewtech is the result of Kimbrer Computer acquiring Renewtech in 2023 and rebranding the group to Renewtech in 2024.

“Renewtech has a clear proposition and a strong team. The case for refurbished IT is straightforward — it is better for costs, better for sustainability, and increasingly what enterprise customers are looking for. What I have seen of this business gives me confidence in the foundation we are building on. I look forward to working with the team and with Trill Impact to continue growing what has been built here”

- Claudio Christensen, CEO of Renewtech

Renewtech‘s solution

Social/Environmental challenge

Electrical and Electronic equipment is one of the fastest growing waste streams and less than 40% of all e-waste is recycled in Europe

24 of 27 countries fail their respective recycling targets and Information and Computer Technology (ICT) equipment is the third largest contributor accounting for 14% of total e-waste

These products rarely reach their actual lifetime and it is estimated that they are discarded at least 2-3 years earlier than designed

SDG Contribution

Renewtech contributes to the circular economy by extending the life of enterprise IT hardware, thus reducing CO2 footprint by up to 90%, reducing raw materials, e-waste, energy and water usage in comparison to the production of new hardware. The company enables impact acceleration across several SDG targets:

SDG #12.4: Environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle

SDG #12.5: Substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse

SDG #13: Climate Action
