Digitane Partners with Digital Pure Recycle to Offer Learning Reuse PCs at Member-Exclusive Prices

Project Overview Educational Design Inc. (Representative Director: Shintaro Wakita) has entered into a sales partnership with Digital Pure Recycle Inc. (Environment no Mikata Group, Representative Director: Toshikazu Masuda) to offer high-quality used PCs at a special price as a benefit for Digitane members. This will remove hurdles such as "I can't learn AI or programming because I don't have a computer for my child" or "I'm concerned about the specifications of the computer I own," and create an environment where anyone can start learning AI and programming with peace of mind.

Background of Used PC Provision The background of this project is the new challenge after the GIGA School Initiative: the "Digital Environment Gap at Home."

Challenge 1. Restrictions on Home Use While the GIGA School Initiative has achieved the goal of providing one device per child, there are many restrictions on taking devices home and on their use (filtering, etc.), making them unsuitable for independent creative activities or computer-based learning at home in many cases.

Challenge 2. "Children's PCs" Shortage Although household PC ownership rates are high, PCs owned by parents often contain work data, and sharing expensive devices carries a psychological barrier due to the risk of damage. Digitane's own surveys have revealed that many households do not have a "dedicated device that children can use freely."

Challenge 3. Parents' "I Don't Know What to Buy" Dilemma User interviews conducted by Digitane revealed many voices from parents saying, "I want to start learning AI or programming, but expensive new PCs are a hurdle," and "I'm afraid of inadequate specs with computers that are too cheap." Hardware preparation has become a bottleneck for starting learning.

Affordable PCs with Optimal Specs for Learning To solve the above challenges, we have partnered with Digital Pure Recycle, which operates a reuse business for corporate PCs, and will sell PCs that meet the following criteria at affordable prices:

1. Sufficient Specs for AI and Programming Learning We will stock PCs that meet Digitane's recommended specifications, so parents will no longer have to worry about "what to buy."

2. High-Quality and Reliable PCs The PCs provided are high-durability, high-quality computers originally used by corporations, which have been refurbished by specialists who perform data erasure, cleaning, and inspection. We offer high-quality used PCs based on the reliability of Environment no Mikata Group, a Tokyo Stock Exchange listed company.

3. Easy on the Household Budget and the Environment In addition to being significantly cheaper than new ones, utilizing used items contributes to SDGs (reducing environmental load) and helps solve social issues.

Exclusive Benefits for Digitane Members Digitane members can purchase at a special price through a dedicated purchase site. We will support families who are about to start AI or programming learning, or who are considering purchasing a computer for their children, both in terms of software and hardware.
