10 Reasons to Love 2nd Life IT Refurbished Devices

Choosing refurbished IT is a smarter, more sustainable way to equip your organisation. 2nd Life IT devices are designed to meet modern business needs while delivering real value across performance, cost, flexibility and sustainability. Here are 10 reasons why there’s so much to love about 2nd Life IT refurbished devices.

1. They look as good as new

2nd Life IT devices are professionally refurbished to a high cosmetic standard. From the moment they’re unboxed, they look and feel like new devices — something your end users will immediately appreciate.

2. Warranty included for the life of the subscription

Every 2nd Life IT device comes with warranty included for the full duration of the subscription. That means fewer surprises, predictable support, and complete peace of mind for IT teams.

3. Save up to 40% compared to buying new

Refurbished doesn’t just make sense environmentally — it makes financial sense too. Organisations can save up to 40% compared to new devices, freeing budget for growth, innovation or other priorities.

4. Refurbished to corporate standards

These aren’t consumer-grade refurbs. 2nd Life IT devices are refurbished to corporate standards, ensuring performance, reliability and security that businesses depend on. 

5. A significantly lower carbon footprint

Manufacturing a brand-new device generates around 180kg of CO₂, while refurbishing an existing device produces less than 25kg of CO₂. Choosing 2nd Life IT is a simple, measurable way to reduce the carbon impact of your IT estate. 

6. Available to buy or lease

Whether you prefer outright purchase or a subscription model, 2nd Life IT gives you the flexibility to choose what works best for your organisation — without locking you into a single approach. 

7. Extending device life and reducing e‑waste

2nd Life IT proves that high-quality devices don’t need to end-up in landfill prematurely. By extending the useful life of IT equipment, organisations actively help reduce electronic waste and support a more circular economy.

8. Flexiblease: IT that scales with your business

With Flexiblease, businesses can scale their technology up or down as needs change. It’s a unique, flexible IT solution that adapts to growth, seasonality, or organisational change — without unnecessary waste or cost. 

9. Predictable costs spread over three years

When subscribing to 2nd Life IT, organisations can spread costs over (typically) three years, improving cash flow while still benefiting from the significant savings refurbished devices deliver. 

10. Proven reliability you can trust

Refurbished devices often outperform expectations. While the average market failure rate for devices sits at around 8%, 2nd Life IT devices achieve a much lower failure rate of just 3.9% — proving reliability is built into the process.
