🤯Ten emails emit the same amount of CO2 as one energy-saving lamp per hour. When you think about how many emails you receive every day, it's just insane how much CO2 is generated by email alone. Therefore, deleting old or unnecessary emails and their attachments help a lot reducing your . It is actually that easy!

➡️Two tips from us:

Delete your emails regularly and unsubscribe from unnecessary newsletters.
Store files on external hard drives and not in a cloud. This way, the files are not stored on a server that constantly consumes .

👩‍💻Employees today want more flexibility, autonomy and the ability to choose when and where they work. The traditional work model, in which everyone is assigned a fixed desk, has long since become obsolete. Hybrid working has become an integral part of our everyday working lives.

Using the example of the Paul Scherrer Institut, our new blog post explores the question of what it takes to implement such a working model in a company successfully.

💡Read our new blog article, where we explain the advantages of , outline the challenges a company may face when integrating such a form of work, and show you how a hybrid working model can be successfully implemented with the help of a best-practice example.

❓Has your company already implemented a hybrid working model? If not, would you prefer they do, or do you prefer to go to the office? Let us know in the comments.👇

📈 Did you know that 10% of global energy and 4% of CO2 emissions are generated through ICT? That’s enormous! The fastest growing waste stream is e-waste.

🤯 It is predicted that by 2030, 74 million metric tonnes of e-waste are going to be on the planet if we don’t change now.

🌱 With Green IT, companies can save a great amount of CO2 and come closer and closer to climate neutrality.

Mit unserem ersten Notebook haben wir einen großen Schritt Richtung Kreislaufwirtschaft gemacht.

💻Das PrimeBook Circular zeichnet sich durch seine austauschbaren Module aus, die den Lebenszyklus des Produktes verlängern und Elektroschrott sparen.

🔋Wir schätzen, dass mit dem modularen Notebook bis zum Jahr 2026 insgesamt 28 Millionen kg CO2 eingespart werden können. Dabei werden sowohl Material-, als auch Energieeffizienz für eine zehnjährige Lebensdauer mit einem Upgrade nach fünf Jahren Nutzung berücksichtigt.

🔧Wir entwickeln IT-Geräte, die effizient und unkompliziert Wieder Aufgearbeitet und Wiederverwertung werden können. Die Produkte sind so konzipiert, dass sie so lange wie möglich halten und durch austauschbare Module eine einfache Wartung, Reparatur und Aufrüstung ermöglichen.

We are honoured that our PrimeBook Circular was tested again. This time our notebook has attracted the attention of Notebookcheck Publishing GmbH.

🔍They have tested our modular notebook in several categories and have come to the following conclusions:
✔️Case: the case and the display lid of the PrimeBook Circular are made entirely out of anodized aluminum and is thus very strong.
✔️Equipment: the PrimeBook Circular includes the most important interfaces.
✔️Performance: through the Intel NUC Computer Element CM11EBI716W, the PrimeBook Circular is very well equipped as an office notebook and suitable for demanding tasks that go beyond normal everyday business use.
✔️Noise-emissions: the noise levels produced good results and the two fans do not produce any unpleasant noise, which positively influences one's subjective perception.
✔️Temperature: temperatures of the PrimeBook Circular are well under control.
✔️Energy Management: the power supply is not overloaded and the battery does not discharge when the power supply is plugged in.

👏Overall, Sebastian Bade (Senior Tech Writer) came to the following conclusion:
"We very much liked the PrimeBook Circular's emission rates. In short, the low energy requirements when idling and under low load allow for very long battery runtimes. A complete workday without interruptions should be possible"

And it's not too late to act. If you haven't been affected by climate change by now, you haven't been paying attention.

Good news is that it's not too late to start acting. We're not asking you to do it alone.

🤝Fighting this takes a village, not just a single company or person. So get behind a business with truly sustainable efforts to start creating change. Get behind a business that can identify their Dark Green IT standing vs Light Green or Brown affiliation.

ℹ️With the “dark green – light green – brown” comparison, it is easy to assess whether an IT manufacturer is a genuine Green IT company, whether it only operates sustainably in some areas, or whether the manufacturer’s business model completely neglects sustainability.

We would like to introduce you to a must-read article from TCO Development.

♻️The article deals with the topic of circularity in practice and focuses on how to manage notebook computers responsibly.

💻 The transition to a circular economy, where products are used for as long as possible to save resources, is becoming increasingly important. This approach is also crucial for us at Prime Computer. Considering the principles of a functioning circular economy, we have developed a notebook which is in line with the principles of a functioning circular economy: the PrimeBook Circular.

Its modular computer component can be exchanged, upgraded, and replaced. This extends the product lifecycle of the notebook and reduces CO2 emissions demonstrably.

TCO Development certifies products that function according to the principle of a circular economy and have a long life cycle. In this context, they have published four summary points in their article. These are:
🌱Extending product life cuts greenhouse gas emissions
🌱Emissions are lower when notebooks are upgraded instead of replaced
🌱Buying new doesn’t compensate for emissions from manufacturing
🌱Circular solutions are better also from a financial perspective

Sustainability is an increasingly important topic in our everyday life. Also sustainable manufacturers of IT hardware are gaining social relevance, but at the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find out which suppliers offer truly Green IT products.

♻️If you want to make sure you buy truly hardware, look for a company that covers these points:
✔️Sustainability is fundamentally anchored in the company ethos
✔️The company is committed to compliance with ecological and social guidelines
✔️The company is in Scope 1, 2 and 3
✔️They offer climate-neutral products
✔️Product tests by independent research institutes
✔️Transparent sustainability communication, for example, in the form of a sustainability report
✔️Second Life Cycle Program and accredited reuse of PC components

🌱At Prime Computer, we are helping to accelerate climate action in IT around the world by breaking completely new ground within the industry. We believe in a positive future and are doing everything we can to put an end to wasteful consumption.

😱 Did you know, that 10% of global energy and 4% of are generated through ICT? Quite shocking, isn't it?!

🌱We at Prime Computer decrease the environmental impact of our products because they are 100% over the lifetime of five years.

For example, our Sustainability Manager, Valentin, calculated that 600 PrimeMini 5's can save on average 243,360 kWh per year compared to conventional desktops.🤯

💰This has both sustainable and financial advantages for you personally. 243,360 kWh saved per year in Switzerland would enable you to save 48,341 € per year (Swiss grid 0.199€ per kWh).
