ANTHONY LEVY
/
Anthony Levy is the founder of Circularity First: a group of sustainable IT companies that operate globally with business hubs in California (USA), Aalborg (Denmark) and Poynton (UK). To date, the Group has prevented nearly one million kilograms of IT hardware from ending up as eWaste (electronic waste) by offering Circular Economy solutions that keeps IT in use for longer.
Anthony started his business with a simple aim: to break the traditional 3-year IT replacement cycle and thereby end the practice of throwing away technology when it still has many years of life left in it. He now has over 14 years' experience of deploying sustainable technology using circular economy principles.
He and his team have delivered sustainable solutions to service providers, government bodies, and commercial customers across Europe, US and Asia. This has helped hundreds of organisations to take a more sustainable approach to how they design, source, procure, use and dispose of their IT infrastructure.
A big part of Circularity First's success has come from pushing back against negative perceptions of remanufactured technology. Anthony has consistently provided the evidence to reassure people that they can have the same performance, with better return on investment, while being more sustainable.
Anthony actively promotes the importance of the circular economy and its role in the IT industry. In fact, he’s never been more passionate about it, because it’s never been more important.
Why the Sustainable IT Guy ?
Anthony’s belief in using technology to its full utility runs deep to his core. After building a computer with second hand parts when he was 13 years old, Anthony realised the value of using unwanted technology and that set him on his career path. He is known by colleagues in the industry as The Sustainable IT Guy and the name has stuck!
