Small Steps, Big Impact: How Circular Tech Is Reducing E-Waste - Together

At Circular Tech, we believe sustainability isn’t achieved through one giant leap. It’s built through consistent, meaningful steps taken every single day. As technology continues to evolve, so does the responsibility to manage its lifecycle thoughtfully. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help Australian businesses reduce e-waste, prolong the life of their hardware and choose smarter, more sustainable solutions.

Here’s how we’re making a big impact through small, practical changes - right alongside you.

1. Prioritising Durable, Reliable Hardware That Lasts

One of the most effective ways to reduce e-waste is simple: choose hardware that doesn’t need constant replacement.

Circular Tech partners with leading brands like Epson, Element, Datalogic, Bixolon and Honeywell, offering POS hardware built for performance, longevity and easy maintenance. When your equipment performs longer, you reduce landfill contribution, lower operational waste and get more value from every purchase.

Longer-lasting hardware = less waste + lower costs.

2. Offering Sustainable Consumables (Including Our Eco Receipt Rolls!)

Not all consumables are created equal.

Our Eco Thermal Rolls provide an environmentally conscious alternative to standard receipt paper.
They’re designed to:

  • Reduce your environmental footprint

  • Support recyclable and BPA-free materials

  • Maintain high-quality print results

  • Cut down long-term waste without changing your POS setup

Small swap, big difference.

3. Supporting Repair, Maintenance & Upgrades Over Replacement

Every time a device is repaired instead of discarded, we prevent unnecessary waste.

Circular Tech encourages a “repair-first” mindset, helping customers troubleshoot issues, replace worn components, or upgrade small parts before deciding to dispose of a device. Whether it’s a printer cutter assembly, a cable, or a worn-out scanner trigger, small replacements significantly reduce the amount of hardware ending up in landfill.

4. Responsible Recycling of Outdated Hardware

We work with customers to ensure that outdated or non-functional POS hardware is recycled responsibly, not just thrown out.

By choosing accredited recycling pathways, we help:

  • Reduce landfill

  • Recover valuable materials

  • Ensure safe handling of electronic components

If you’re upgrading equipment, we can assist in advising the best recycling options available.

5. Encouraging Conscious Purchasing

Not every business needs the most expensive or most powerful hardware - just the right hardware.

We guide customers toward fit-for-purpose solutions, ensuring you purchase what genuinely suits your workflow without overbuying or contributing to the growing e-waste problem.

Creating a More Sustainable Future - Together

Every sustainable choice, whether it’s choosing long-lasting hardware, switching to eco-friendly consumables, repairing instead of replacing, or recycling responsibly, makes a real difference.

At Circular Tech, we’re proud to help Australian businesses adopt better technology practices that protect both their operations and the planet.

Better tech for people and the planet.
