Our green shipping program consolidates devices into eco-friendly bulk packaging, eliminating individual device boxes and excess materials. Instead of receiving 30 separate boxes for 30 Chromebooks, schools receive organized 10-unit boxes that reduce waste by 87% and make distribution 75% faster. All packaging materials are recyclable, and we handle the proper recycling of original manufacturer packaging.
Through our comprehensive approach combining pre-installed protection, proactive maintenance, and dedicated parts inventory, schools typically extend device lifecycles beyond the average. Our Repair Academy and parts availability guarantee ensure devices can be maintained long-term, significantly reducing e-waste and replacement costs.
