SCCE – “Social Computer Circular Economy” in the region of Waidhofen/Ybbs - Amstetten

The IMC company at Waidhofen/Ybbs and Director Thomas Knapp have developed a project together with KOMUNITAS OG, by which the useful life of computers is increased by means of regional cycle management. The essential focus is on an organized transfer of functional devices to social projects and low-income members of the population, respectively. Based on the experiences of a successfully implemented pilot project, together with stakeholders from the region a sustainable model is being elaborated.

How it works:

Especially in computers and peripheral devices used in economic enterprises, the (technical) useful life lies far beyond the period of actual use in the enterprise. Many devices are eliminated for organizational, system-immanent reasons, although they still function properly.

In the Social Computer Cycle, functional used computers and IT devices from economic enterprises are converted for further use in social institutions (for instance, youth centers, homes for the elderly), and can such be used further in this region.

Precious raw materials and functioning technology is maintained, and damaged devices are disassembled and prepared for well-targeted recycling.

This affords advantages to all parties concerned, because functional computers

... need not be scrapped;
… are revitalized in social projects;
… are delivered further to social institutions, low-income and environmentally aware persons in this region in a targeted way;
… are used for a longer time – this saves precious resources for all of us!

Where to deliver used devices?

Deliver your eliminated devices to one of the takeover sites. Your enterprise will not incur any costs.

We accept:

PCs

Flat screens

Laptops

Keyboards and computer mice
