- The work provides new fundamental insights into how microprocessor evolution is strengthening the case for refurbished servers. The findings from the study helped shape the UK Government Digital Strategy 2020-2025 in relation to Circular Economy practices by providing evidence of the effectiveness of refurbished servers to help remove policy barriers (e.g. in relation to procurement of refurbished equipment in public sector) [1]. Additionally, a new technology start-up was founded based on the work and mathematical models of the study, which is currently serving organisations globally to reduce electronic waste [2].
