How Circuit Board Medics Turns 1 Ton of CO₂ Into 1,700 Tons Saved — A Remarkable Sustainability ROI

At BlueInc, we like to roll up our sleeves and help our clients grow which is exactly what we've done with Circuit Board Medics (CBM) since 2019. This has included coaching the leadership team as well as taking fractional COO, CFO, and CRO roles as needed.

More recently, the CBM team wanted to bring the same level of professionalism to the company's management of sustainability.

Circuit Board Medics is a remanufacturing business: they fix circuit boards (from appliances, vehicles, etc.), make them better than new, and return them to customers in order to restore normalcy.

This unique business model is inherently powerful. Among other benefits, CBM provides:

• competitive and high quality offers for consumers,

• on-shore sourcing in a context of global shortages,

• low environmental footprint since existing components are reused, and

• local, high tech, jobs

If we just focus on the environmental side of things, it's clear how one Circuit Board Medics repair eliminates both the manufacturing of a new product AND unnessary raw material extraction. On top of that, there's no need for landfill space for the broken washer, dryer, fridge, or vehicle.

We recently provided a third party analysis to evaluate the carbon footprint of CBM...and the results speak for themselves.

The company used approximately 100 tons of CO2e in 2024....BUT it saved 184,000 tons at the same time. The final numbers show that one ton of CO2e that is emitted, the Circuit Board Medics business model saves 1,700 tons of CO2e!

They invest 1 unit and get 1,700...that's an amazing return on investment.

Circuit Board Medics proves that you can be a successful business while also providing value to the people and planet. Congrats on the great work, CBM!
