Tried and proven

Quality of our

Refurbishing Process



Our Success Factor is the

Refurbishing Quality Process

Quality is our Competitive Advantage




We make sustainability a tangible

reality

Based on the proven excellence

refurbishment process we save up

to 20,000 tons of CO2 emissions



Our Green Program goes one step further:

Reduce CO2, double up on Savings

• Siemens Refurbished Systems is supporting the

reforestation of 32 hectares of rainforest in

Indonesia. 13,000 trees are being planted in Sebangau

National Park.

• This represents a doubling-up of the 20,000 tons of

CO2 savings achieved through system refurbishments.

• We are working side-by-side with a strong partner:

WWF Indonesia and Sebangau National Park.

The result:

Savings of up to 40,000 tons of CO2



Current legislation should support circular economy

and resource efficiency

RoHS – restriction of hazardous substances (2011/65/EU)

We see:

Limitations for refurbishment business

This could lead to:

Reduced availability of affordable medical equipment in the EU

More e-waste outside the EU

We recommend and appreciate environmental sound legislation supporting

circular economy and resource efficiency





Thank you for your attention.
