1000 laptops ready to be shipped
The past week has been an incredibly positive week. Circular.brussels has refurbished more than 1000 laptops and equipped them with Windows 10. Together with Lead Belgium we will deliver these laptops next week to the FWB, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. They will be used for schools that will distribute them to children and families who do not have the necessary IT equipment to continue their essential education.
At the same time, stories are reaching us that people are losing their jobs and that their children of different ages do not have essential IT equipment to continue their studies from home. When this kind of news comes so close, our passion for helping children and schools then becomes even greater!
Our launch of the project ICT 'Inclusive & Circular Tech' therefore comes just at the right time to publicise families that lack the basic IT equipment (tablets, laptops, PCs) to enable their children to continue their studies.
We want to encourage companies to let Circular.brussels collect their redundant, old IT equipment for free. We transport this equipment safely to our collection centre at the Tour & Taxis site in Brussels. We then destroy all data on the data carriers using a certified method. We refurbish the computers and laptops and send them quickly and efficiently to schools in need. We cannot waste any more time.
Finally, yesterday the film crew ‘SilverSixPence’ visited us to take a look behind the scenes of Circular.brussels. They provide a perfect picture of how we work and what we stand for as a people-loving organisation with a strong focus on preserving the environment. We can't wait to tell our story through the high-profile images captured by this cool and hip film crew! Soon more about that!

4 年Amazing initiative! Kudos ?? Do you know whether shelter homes in Brussels are among the beneficiaries as well? There are hundreds of kids placed in such institutionsin our capital city, with just few, old PCs to share.
