To conserve resources, the DB Group extends the life cycle of its IT equipment by sending decommissioned laptops, PCs, and mobile end user devices to a specialized company for refurbishment. On behalf of DB, this company professionally deletes the data, refurbishes the devices, and ensures they can be reused. This extends the lifespan of the IT equipment while also conserving resources. After all, manufacturing new devices consumes both energy and valuable raw materials such as rare earth elements and metals.
In 2025, DB was able to return more than 79,000 devices to reuse. These include not only notebooks and PCs but also smartphones and tablets.
