Infineon gives old IT devices a new lease of life
The cooperation between Infineon and AfB ("Work for People with Disabilities") enables the recycling of old PCs, laptops, cell phones and monitors.
The throwaway society is coming under increasing criticism, and counter-movements such as repair cafés and reuse projects aim to extend the lifespan of devices and everyday items, thereby meeting the current trend.
Non-profit cooperation
A meaningful Reuse cooperation is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Infineon Austria and the non-profit organization AfB "Arbeit für Menschen mit Behinderung" (work for people with disabilities) have been working together since 2014.
AfB employees in Klagenfurt breathe new life into laptops, PCs, monitors, printers and various mobile devices that are no longer in use. "With this partnership, our IT team made a real start in 2014, which not only creates social meaning, but also has an ecologically sustainable impact," explains Hansjörg Sonnleitner, Head of Infineon IT-Services GmbH.
Sustainability project celebrates success
Over the past ten years, Infineon has provided 33,000 IT devices to AfB. 86 percent have been refurbished by AfB. By extending the life of the devices, 707,523 kilograms of CO₂ and 397,004 liters of water were saved. In addition to Austria, Infineon Germany has been involved in the IT reuse project since 2019.
