About Bluestar
Good hardware shouldn't go to waste when another team could use it.
Post it on Bluestar and that team will find it.
Why we built Bluestar
In IT, perfectly good equipment is routinely discarded. High-value items like recent laptops and servers often go to ITAD companies. That works for some hardware. But it leaves a big gap, the everyday items that accumulate in storerooms: DisplayPort cables, monitors, peripherals, networking gear, and older but fully functional equipment. These usually end up in landfill, stored indefinitely, or recycled at a cost. Meanwhile, another organisation nearby is raising a purchase order for exactly the same things. The Bluestar Exchange was built to close that gap.
How it works
Every organisation on The Bluestar Exchange is manually verified before they can post or claim items. You know you're dealing with a real IT team at a real organisation, every time.
- Handovers, conversations, and data sanitisation happen directly between IT professionals who understand the real-world context.
- The platform is free for the first 150-200 organisations (early adopters). It will remain free while we build the network.
- After the early adopter phase, it will most likely be a simple one-time payment per organisation to sign up.
The bigger picture
Australia is under growing pressure to meet sustainability targets and strengthen ESG reporting. Extending the life of workplace equipment is one of the most straightforward ways an IT department can reduce waste, avoid unnecessary manufacturing, and lower its environmental footprint. Every item rehomed through Bluestar is:
- One less item in landfill.
- One more documented contribution to your organisation's sustainability goals.
- A practical, peer-to-peer solution that makes environmental sense and business sense.
