Turn IT Green: where technology meets sustainability
Welcome to the Turn IT Green initiative, where a community of businesses, charities, and end-users unite to make a difference. By extending the lifespan of corporate devices, we collectively reduce CO2 emissions and e-waste, contributing to a healthier planet.
Join us and enjoy the advantages of lower IT costs and a refreshed strategy for sustainable growth.
The Power of a Community
Our community members benefit from engaging with three different stages of a computer’s lifecycle: New, 2nd Life IT, and Light Refurbishment.
By encouraging Second and Third Users to opt for refurbished alternatives instead of purchasing new devices, Turn IT Green effectively reduces the demand for new products. This reduction directly translates to decreased CO2 emissions generated during manufacturing processes, minimizes the need for raw material extraction, and lowers e-waste.
The Journey starts with you
Enjoy the freedom to select your role in our community: whether as the First User of a brand-new device or as the Second User of a meticulously refurbished 2nd Life device, or even opt for a mix of both options!
Benefit from InnoVent's unique subscription model, offering savings ranging from 20% to 40% on your IT expenses. Embrace a structured refresh strategy that not only optimises your technology but also aligns seamlessly with your ESG objectives through our genuine and sustainable Turn IT Green Initiative.

Ready to start your journey?
Yes. For businesses that have recently refreshed their equipment and wish to join Turn IT Green, we offer a tailored solution through a sale and leaseback transaction. If your equipment meets the criteria for our initiative, this transaction allows you to become part of Turn IT Green while aligning with your regular refresh cycles.
Our Sale & Leaseback option not only returns the capital invested in your business but also reduces the cost of your IT infrastructure. By spreading payments over the length of your lease period, you can enjoy greater financial flexibility.
Contact us to explore this option further. Our team will be delighted to assist you and provide more information on how you can participate in Turn IT Green.
Manufacturers estimate that the production of a brand-new device generates an average of around 400 kgs of CO2e. Additionally, our analysis suggests that the refurbishment process of a device adds approximately 40 kgs of CO2 to extend its useful life.
By extending the useful life of a device, we engage three different users at various life stages, who might otherwise opt solely for brand-new devices. This collective action would contribute to generating around 1200 kgs of CO2 (400 kgs for each brand-new device used by the three users).
The Turn IT Green initiative encourages second and third users to consider alternative refurbished options. By doing so, instead of collectively generating 1200 kgs of CO2, the contribution gets reduced to 440 kgs (the emissions from the brand-new device plus the 40 kgs from the refurbishment process). This translates into a significant 63% reduction in CO2 emissions
