STOCKHOLM, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The new report from TCO Development, the organization behind the global sustainability certification for IT products TCO Certified, explains how everyone who buys and uses IT products can implement circular and more sustainable practices.
New report with 33 expert tips on circular IT management
"Circular solutions are already available. We now need to use them," says Clare Hobby, Global Purchaser Engagement Director at TCO Development.
The report, Impacts and Insights: Circular IT Management in Practice, sets out how the circular economy helps solve many of the most pressing sustainability challenges linked to IT products. Today’s linear consumption causes substantial carbon dioxide emissions. Natural resources are being rapidly exhausted and vast amounts of hazardous e-waste piles up, with more than 50 million metric tonnes being discarded every year, of which only 20% is being responsibly taken care of. The circular economy can help us reduce the pressure we’re putting on the planet.
As a pioneer of circular procurement, Aalborg municipality has seen the effects of acting with greater circularity.
"The amount of CO2 we can save by keeping IT products longer surprised me. Using laptops for another three years will save emissions equivalent to heating and powering all municipality buildings for a year," says Birgitte Krebs Schleemann, project manager for sustainability procurement at Aalborg municipality.
The circular transition is a paradigm shift that will require both big and small changes. In the report, experts in the frontline of circularity and IT share 33 concrete tips.
"We want to go beyond theory — this report provides practical help for those who want to take the next step," says Clare Hobby.
Some of the tips:
Use your IT-products longer — it’s the single most important thing you can do to save natural resources and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Work to gradually implement circular practices, such as take-back programs.
Think circular when you’re purchasing IT products. Use circular criteria.
Give your IT products a second life by reselling them.
Acknowledge that circularity is a team effort and no one can do it alone. Both internal and external cooperation is key!
TCO Certified is the world-leading sustainability certification for IT products. Our comprehensive criteria are designed to drive social and environmental responsibility throughout the product life cycle. Covering 11 product categories, compliance is independently verified, both pre and post certification.

NYON, Switzerland, June 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hublot first released the Big Bang in 2005. Since then, this model has come to embody Swiss watchmaking in the third millennium.
In 2018, the first connected version of the Big Bang made its debut. And now, Hublot unveils the BIG BANG e.
The new incarnation of the brand’s Art of Fusion ethos: a fusion between tradition and innovation, cutting edge materials and the latest digital technology.
To mark the 2018 FIFA Football World Cup™ in Russia, Hublot presented their first connected watch model, the Big Bang Referee 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™. Equipped with the latest technological developments then available for wearable technology, this formidable tool was used both by referees on the pitch and by football fans, as a virtual stadium so they could join in with the competition. Two years later, Hublot returns with a new model: the BIG BANG e, a connected watch equipped with the latest technology that adopts all the iconic Big Bang codes.
To stay up-to-date, follow: @Hublot #Hublot #BigBangE #HublotLovesArt
"Electronic watches were created in Switzerland using quartz in the 1970s. Fifty years later, we are continuing in the same innovative vein by producing a second smart watch which boasts an extremely high level of technological sophistication, whilst embodying all the aesthetic values, technical features and excellence that have ensured the reputation of our Big Bang collection. Ever more faithful to our "Art of Fusion" motto, we wanted the BIG BANG e to unite Hublot’s highly advanced technical materials with the very latest innovations from today’s digital world." – Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of HUBLOT
Full of sophistication and advanced technology, this piece fits in perfectly with Hublot’s watchmaking tradition. All the codes that have helped build the brand’s reputation thus far can be recognised instantly, by enthusiasts and the public alike. A good pedigree always shines through! Its case is cut from materials such as black ceramic or titanium in a "sandwich" construction, an innovative style invented by Hublot in 2005. Extremely complex, it comprises 42 components, 27 of which are for the K Module alone, the "cage" which houses the digital heart of the watch. The design of the screws and pushers, the scratchproof sapphire crystal, and its rubber strap – with deployant buckle invented by Hublot in 1980 for the Classic model and the patented One Click system for easy interchangeability – leave no-one in doubt: element by element, it is clear that this is a true Big Bang!
The BIG BANG e is available in a 42 mm case, made from a choice of titanium or ceramic. The hour numerals are metallised underneath the scratchproof sapphire crystal, which is covered with an AMOLED high definition touchscreen. Just like a mechanical version of the Big Bang, its rotary crown with integrated pusher is used to activate the controls for its electronic module. Developed in partnership with other brands within the LVMH Group, the watch is adapted and perfected to meet Hublot’s requirements.
Transferring their traditional expertise into this new digital environment, the designers in Nyon have developed new watch functionalities. Apart from the "Time Only" analogue function, the BIG BANG e features exclusive interpretations of traditional watch complications, such as a Perpetual Calendar with an immaculately precise moon phase or a second GMT time zone, which presents the earth in a very realistic way. These functionalities have been revisited and enhanced to take advantage of the possibilities offered by the digital world. Despite this built-in technology, Hublot guarantees the watch is water-resistant to a depth of 30 meters.
Powered with Wear OS by Google™, the BIG BANG e enables customization to the smartwatch experience. The wearer can access apps on Google Play, get answers on the go with Google Assistant and make fast simple payments with Google Pay. For a more personal experience, easily swipe to helpful information and stay up to date with notifications and messages. In addition, dials specifically created by the talented Hublot ambassadors and Friends of the Brand will be gradually unveiled.
Available as soon as the BIG BANG e is released, the first edition is part of the #HublotLovesArt movement: a series of eight dials stemming from the imagination of storytelling artist Marc Ferrero. Every three hours, the dial changes colour, meaning eight creations are displayed in sequence over a 24-hour period. Each of these is based on a specific colour: Happy Yellow, Magic Blue, Orange Dynamite, All White, Lucky Green, Magic Red, Rainbow Spirit and Black Magic. And that is not all. Every full hour is marked with the appearance of an animation that lasts five seconds. A very #HublotLovesArt way of adding a touch of colour and rhythm to different moments throughout the day!
The BIG BANG e will be produced in two different editions: one in titanium and one in black ceramic. For the first time in Hublot’s history, this watch will be sold online on the brand’s website as well as on the Wechat network in China. It will then be available to purchase in boutiques and the traditional network.

At REDUIT, the Swiss beauty tech company, innovation spans both technology and consumer-oriented design
NEUCHATEL, Switzerland, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Intuitive and simple product design is center-stage for the Swiss beauty tech innovator REDUIT. The company has gone to great lengths to make sure that new technology is also delivered in a way that makes sense to consumers. From aesthetics to ergonomics, each aspect of REDUIT’s Hairpods™ range has been challenged until the best possible solution emerged, resulting in a product that is truly "made to a human measure".
REDUIT Color Protect Hairpods™ – a simple way to protect hair from pollution, saltwater and UV radiation
REDUITs new Hairpods™ cover a variety of leave-on haircare and hair styling products, each contained in different pods. The product is applied with the aid of the REDUIT One applicator, a device designed to boost the performance of the active ingredients.
The system is radically different when compared with traditional products. The formulations in the Hairpods™ themselves, developed from the ground up for each application, are each matched via a unique electronic signature to generate small magnetized mist particles. Every single element of the beauty product had to be reinvented for REDUIT to reach a new paradigm of performance.
Never before has a new beauty routine been so easy: insert the Hairpod™ of your choice into the REDUIT One device. Activate it, and apply the gentle mist for 15 seconds* to your hair to create a microscopically fine film, and you are ready to go. It is as simple as that!
The sleek REDUIT One applicator is universal and operates with any of the Hairpods™: from styling products, such as the Precision Conditioner and the Volume Mist, to haircare treatments, including the Vapored Strength and (as of tomorrow, June 6th) also the Color Protect Hairpods™.
Each of the Hairpods™ is very compact, only 5 ml in size, but allows for 20 uses* which is equivalent to 100-200 ml of traditional products. At a mere 12 grams of packaging, and recyclable through our Return & Refurbish program, the Hairpods™ lead the way as the benchmark for environmentally-friendly haircare products globally.
None of the packaging is wasted: consumers can send in their empty Hairpods™ to the nearest REDUIT location, and they will be rewarded with free product coupons on subsequent purchases – and a healthier planet for us all. That’s the REDUIT way.
This is only the beginning: REDUIT will continue to launch a new product every Friday throughout the summer. Register at www.reduit.com, to be the first to learn about the upcoming innovations from REDUIT on a weekly basis!

REDUIT was created with one vision: to revolutionize the everyday beauty routine. We started in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, with the dream of creating truly superior beauty products. From performance to sustainability and user-friendliness, we design products that truly elevate the everyday.
Set on raising the bar for professional and at-home beauty solutions that deliver on one simple promise: enhancing the results and experience while reducing the unnecessary.
