In this episode, Martin explains how Foxway—headquartered in Sweden and operating across Europe—supports global organisations in managing, refurbishing, and reselling used technology in a compliant and sustainable way. With more than 25 years of experience in technology services, Martin shares how the company’s model underpins a true circular IT ecosystem, one in which asset finance plays an essential enabling role.

The conversation explores the business and environmental logic of reusing and remarketing IT equipment, how manufacturers and lessors are collaborating to optimise the lifecycle of devices, and the role that finance can play in supporting sustainability goals. Martin highlights how Foxway partners with OEMs, resellers and leasing companies to recover, test, and reintroduce technology into the market, helping organisations unlock value while reducing waste.

Reflecting on the industry’s transformation, Martin observes that sustainability and economics are now inseparable: “Sustainability is economic—if you’re not economic, you’re not sustainable.” He also discusses the evolving sales culture within OEMs as refurbished and remanufactured products become increasingly mainstream, noting that finance solutions for these assets will be a key part of future growth.

The episode also looks ahead to new technology trends, including AI hardware and quantum computing, and considers what these developments will mean for asset recovery, lifecycle management, and market demand over the coming years.

As Richard and Martin conclude, circular IT presents both a commercial opportunity and a responsibility. The conversation reinforces how long-term partnerships between technology providers, finance companies and OEMs will be critical to building sustainable, resilient business models for the future.
