In contrast with many home appliances, life cycle energy use of a computer is dominated by production (80%) as opposed to operation (20%). Extension of usable lifespan is thus a promising approach to mitigating energy impacts.

The Blackpool computer club was formed by PC Recycler to encourage the reuse of 'redundant' computers within our community. Every member of the club receives a free computer.

About PC Recycler
PC Recycler was founded in 1998 by one family to obtain free computer equipment for their local primary school. With the help of Blackpool Borough Council, Blackpool Council for Voluntary Service, and Blackpool challenge partnership, this computer reuse project has become a self supporting social enterprise based in Blackpool, Lancashire, UK.
