Virtuoso Partners with Recycle A Device to Promote Sustainable Tech Upcycling

In an exciting new partnership, Virtuoso has teamed up with Recycle A Device (RAD), an innovative New Zealand initiative, to offer our customers a sustainable way to upcycle old laptops. This collaboration aims to bridge the digital divide while promoting environmental sustainability!

A Shared Vision for Sustainability

Virtuoso is helping customers around the world, empowering businesses with cutting-edge technology solutions, while RAD focuses on refurbishing pre-loved laptops and teaching high school students valuable tech engineering skills. Together, we are creating a powerful synergy that benefits both the community and the environment.

How It Works

Customers of Virtuoso can now easily donate their old computers to RAD. These devices are then refurbished by students who are part of RAD’s educational programmes. The refurbished computers are distributed to students and young people (ākonga and rangatahi) who need them, ensuring that technology reaches those who can benefit the most.

All donated devices are subject to a Blackbelt data wipe before being reused to ensure data security.

Benefits for All

• For Customers: This partnership provides an easy and responsible way to dispose of old technology. By donating their devices, customers contribute to a circular economy and support local education initiatives.

• For Students: RAD equips students with hands-on experience in tech engineering, preparing them for future careers in technology.

• For the Community: The refurbished devices help bridge the digital divide, providing access to technology for those who might otherwise be left behind.

Virtuoso and RAD are committed to making a positive impact. By combining their expertise and resources, they are not only reducing electronic waste but also fostering a new generation of tech-savvy individuals who are ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.
