At TasPorts, we’re committed to minimising our environmental impact and maximising the potential of the resources that we use.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Moorup to implement a circular economy approach for our used laptops.
Who is Moorup?
Moorup, an Australian technology company dedicated to extending the life of electronic devices and bridging the digital divide.
Moorup, whose name signifies “life” in the Woi Wurrung language of Australia’s First Nations people, embodies their mission: to breathe new life into used technology and connect those who lack access to it.
What is a circular economy?
A circular economy aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, minimising waste and maximising value. In the context of laptops, it means extending their lifespan beyond their initial use at TasPorts.
Once a laptop has reached the end of its designated service life with us, it is securely decommissioned and sent to Moorup, our trusted partner.
What happens to the device?
Moorup then takes these devices through a rigorous process:
The initiative of this partnership offers several benefits:
With the support of Moorup, we are demonstrating the practical application of a circular economy for technology. By working together, we are minimising our environmental footprint, maximising resource efficiency and contributing to a more sustainable future.
