We are CIRC-EL
Circular Electronics — sustainable print solutions for conscious businesses.
Smarter printing starts here
CIRC-EL specialises in buying and selling refurbished printers and multifunction devices. We carefully select the best machines from leading brands like HP, Canon and Ricoh — virtually new, certified and ready for immediate use.
Our approach is simple: a printer that still has 75% of its technical lifespan remaining deserves a second chance. We give it that chance — and you benefit from savings of up to 80% compared to new.
Beyond sales, we handle installation, data security via Blancco, seamless logistics and responsible recycling. End to end — one partner for your complete print environment.
Our mission
We believe great printing doesn't have to cost the planet or your budget.
Extend lifespan
Every MFP has a technical lifespan of at least 1 million prints. We select only machines with a maximum of 25% used lifespan — most of their life is still ahead.
Reduce costs
Up to 80% cheaper than new. Without compromise on quality, performance or warranty. Same firmware, same output.
Reduce CO₂
540 kg of CO₂ saved per printer compared to new — equivalent to 61 trees growing for a year.
Minimise e-waste
Hardware with no residual value is responsibly recycled through WEEELABEX certified partners, preserving raw materials.
Our refurbishment process
Every device goes through our certified 8-step process before it reaches you.
