Description
Europe’s 1st International Computer Refurbisher Summit (ICRS) with RECOSI will be held over two days at the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin and will bring together refurbishers and resellers of IT and electronic equipment from across Ireland, Europe and the US. It will showcase new developments and examples of best practice in this fledgling but growing industry and to explore the many exciting challenges and opportunities Ireland and Europe faces.
RECOSI has adopted an unconventional commercial model that brings together specialist companies such as Microsoft, ICRS and others into partnership with social enterprises that refurbish, resell or donate used, licensed and guaranteed electrical items that would otherwise end up as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). In recognition of public concerns over misuse of data, RECOSI has also engaged with Tabernus, the global leader in proven certified data erasure, to ensure that all software and data is securely wiped from each device.
Companies whose names are synonymous with the refurbishment and reuse of electrical goods across the rest of the world will share their knowledge and expertise in this area at a European conference.
