Why Extend Device Life, Not Just Recycle
Extending device life tackles e‑waste earlier in the lifecycle, before products ever reach a recycling plant. While recycling is essential, most of a device’s environmental footprint comes from manufacturing and raw material extraction, not from its final
Problem Short LifeSpan
Electronics in schools, health centres and offices often fail years before their natural end of life because of heat.
Problem More Ewaste
Early failure means more e‑waste, higher replacement costs, and more carbon locked into new devices.
Problem Damage Done
Traditional e‑waste approaches focus on collection and recycling after the damage is done.
Who we collaborate with
This page is for organisations building climate, e‑waste, circular economy, and sustainability programmes that touch digital infrastructure, devices, or public services.
Climate & environment NGOs
Design campaigns and on-ground projects that show measurable energy and CO₂ savings from longer-lived devices and more efficient data infrastructure.
E‑waste & circular-economy organisations
Integrate CV22 into repair, refurbishment, and take‑back models to reduce premature scrappage and increase second-life value of electronics.
Government & public programmes
Support Digital India, smart cities, and education/health IT with cooler, longer-lasting devices that ease grid pressure and reduce procurement churn.
Impact investors & climate funds
Back validated clean-tech with clear M&V and carbon-credit potential, deployed across fleets of laptops, desktops, servers, and telecom equipment.
Four Pillars of Collaboration
Why NGOs and mission partners work with Meerkats
Climate impact you can count
Independent measurement shows that CV22 retrofits can reduce device-level energy consumption by roughly 9–12%, with the largest absolute gains on 24×7 servers. Using India’s grid factor of about 0.71 kg CO₂ per kWh, that translates into tens to hundreds of kilograms of CO₂ avoided per device per year ideal for climate reporting and NDC-aligned projects.
E‑waste reduction through longer life
By keeping chips cooler and avoiding TIM pump‑out, CV22 supports approximately 50–80% longer service life for many devices, delaying replacement cycles. Each additional year of safe use means one less laptop, desktop, or server entering the waste stream and fewer rare earths, water, and energy consumed in new manufacturing.
Enabling circular and repair-first models
CV22 is a reusable, copper-based interface that fits naturally into repair, refurbishment, and community repair labs, unlike single-use petroleum-based greases and pads. Circular-economy partners can design programmes around ‘cooling and reviving’ existing devices rather than replacing them while maintaining performance and reliability.
Bankable, indigenous climate tech
CV22 is researched, invented, and manufactured in India, with impacts validated under IPMVP Option B and aligned with Indian energy-efficiency and carbon-credit standards. This combination of local innovation and strong M&V gives NGOs and funds a credible technology to anchor green procurement, carbon projects, and climate-finance proposals.
Collaboration models
Ways we can work together
1. Pilot projects on the ground
Deploy CV22 in a defined cohort schools, health centres, community centres, or small data rooms to demonstrate energy savings, uptime, and avoided replacements over 6–18 months. Meerkats provides technical design, installation playbooks, and measurement; partners bring local networks, beneficiaries, and programme design.
2. Large-scale programmes and grants
Co-create proposals for climate, e‑waste, and digital inclusion funding that combine technology deployment with awareness, training, and local job creation. Our data, M&V, and carbon-accounting models support robust logframes and reporting for bilateral, multilateral, and philanthropic funders.
