Ecological overshoot day: every year we exhaust the planet earlier. What can we do about it?

Ecological overshoot day: every year we exhaust the planet earlier. What can we do about it?

July 24, 2025 is the date when humanity uses up all the natural resources that the planet is able to regenerate in one year. From this day onward, we live in ecological debt – drawing on future resources while living in the present.

Does it sound too abstract? Imagine spending your entire annual budget by July. The rest of the year, we live in a deficit – at the expense of the future. Our own and our children's.

Ecological debt includes our digital footprint

One of the less visible, but significant contributors to ecological debt, is the production of new computing technology.

  • Producing one laptop requires up to 1,200 kg of raw materials – water, rare metals, energy

  • Devices are often discarded after a few years, even if they are still functional or repairable

  • Manufacturing new devices generates a carbon footprint, which we might not see – but the planet does

Refurbishment as a smart solution for responsible companies and individuals

At Techsavers, we’ve been working for years to make technology more sustainable. We believe in second chances – for quality devices and for the planet.

Refurbished technology means:

  • Up to 80% lower environmental burden compared to the production of a new device

  • Extended lifespan of business-grade devices designed for years of reliable performance

  • Cost savings – refurbished laptops and PCs are more affordable

  • Same quality, same warranty – every device is carefully tested in our Refurbishment Center and comes with a 2-year warranty

Real change starts with everyday choices

Change doesn’t begin with governments or corporations. It begins with each of us. With every click, every purchase, every conscious decision.

Choosing a refurbished laptop or PC is one concrete way to make a difference.

Don’t buy new. Choose smart.
