The majority of environmental impacts of many ICT products occur before the use phase; during the extraction of raw materials and production of hardware. Extending the lifetime of ICT products is therefore vital for reducing their environmental footprint! Download this CFIT mini guide to learn how! 

This guide shows how procuring organizations can integrate lifetime extension strategies into every phase of the CFIT procurement cycle, reducing ICT produrcts' environmental footprint, lowering material consumption, and minimizing e-waste. Every year that a device is kept in use avoids the environmental and financial costs of manufacturing a new one. With the right strategies in place, public buyers can extend the life of their ICT fleet and reduce emissions, costs, and waste. You don’t need to wait for perfect conditions. Start with one contract, one device type, or one team — and build from there. This mini guide provides practical examples and concrete references to help you get started in your organization!
