UCISA Webinar – Beyond the League Tables: Evidencing Circular Economy Impact in Higher Education

Many universities are making meaningful progress on sustainability and circular economy initiatives, yet the full impact is not always reflected in public reporting. Sustainability league tables and ESG frameworks often rely on accessible data, and without clear insight into IT asset lifecycle activity, institutions may be under-representing the true scale of their environmental progress.

Hear from Peter Ashton, CIO at Liverpool John Moores University, who’ll share the challenges his IT team faced in managing legacy devices and evidencing sustainability outcomes. We’ll discuss how DTP’s IT Asset Disposal solution, in partnership with HP, has enabled LJMU to securely retire equipment while generating measurable circular economy value. The session will highlight the practical benefits this approach can deliver, from improved sustainability reporting to financial returns that can be reinvested back into your university.

We’ll also demonstrate how our circular economy reporting can quantify outcomes such as refurbishment rates, carbon impact and recovered materials, turning everyday IT activity into credible sustainability data that. Supporting Scope 3 reporting, audits and external benchmarking, whilst offering opportunities to develop an organisations own CSR initiatives.
