🌱 Environmental Impact iOutlet
Aggregated environmental impact counter of the iOutlet community since measurement began. Every refurbished order counts, and we show how much.
123,149
kg of CO₂ avoided
98,958
kg of raw materials saved
19,294,720

9,633
orders with measured impact
What this represents
For context, the numbers above are approximately equivalent to:
615,745 km
of driving avoided (~0.2 kg CO₂ per km, EPA)
64,316
showers equivalent to the water saved (~300 L each)
Methodology
Values are calculated in real time by combining two sources:
- Category dataset validated against public scientific sources, see sources below
- iOutlet order history (completed and in-progress orders), multiplying quantity × impact per product
Dataset version 2026-05-16 · Cache of 1 hour.

Every refurbished purchase has real impact
Instead of manufacturing new technology with its full associated footprint, we extend the life of existing equipment. Cheaper, yes. Measurable too.
