Why does the circular economy matter to IT? HPE's Technology Renewal Center re-visited

We’re back in the studio this week, revisiting Michael’s trip to HPE’s Technology Renewal Center in Erskine, Scotland. There, over three million pieces of IT equipment are renewed or recycled every year, with over 80% finding a new home according to HPE.

So why does it matter? This week, we’ll be looking at tech renewal in more detail, with un-heard interview audio from Michael’s tour of the center with his guide, Ray McGann: Managing Director of HPE Financial Services Ireland, and Worldwide Enterprise IT Asset Lifecycle Leader.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
