The circular economy is a global opportunity
By introducing circular economy principles that consider the entire product lifecycle and business models, the tech industry can decouple economic growth from the consumption of natural resources. Enterprises are hitting resource limitations as they try to scale–HPE can help you adopt more sustainable IT practices and make the most of your budget while optimizing for peak efficiency.

Leverage efficient product design
We established our Design for Environment program in 1992, an engineering-based approach to product development that results in fewer material inputs, lower product power consumption, and minimized waste–reducing total cost of ownership.
Embrace as-a-service business models
Consume IT as a service to take advantage of the latest technologies without the consumption of unnecessary assets. With HPE GreenLake, you pay only for what you use and get capacity when you need it, without worrying about end-of-life disposal.
Extend asset life
One of the key tenets of the circular economy is to keep assets in use longer, reducing new raw material extraction and minimizing e-waste potential. Companies utilizing offerings such as Certified Pre-Owned Services and Asset Upcycling Services can benefit from reduced IT costs and a lower negative environmental footprint while putting money back in their pocket for other innovation projects.
