We want to end the cycle of wasting valuable resources. Help us reach our goal.

Nearly 50 million tons of e-waste is produced every year – that’s more than 6 kilograms for every person on the planet. In France and Germany alone, up to 300 million phones are hibernating in drawers and most of them are still working. Giving them a new life saves resources and reduces e-waste. 

We make and sell phones. We take circularity seriously.

Find out what happens to your phones once they reach our recycling partner.

A simple repair like a new screen or battery is often all that’s necessary to bring an old phone back to life!

40% get a new life

Phones that are still usable first get their data completely deleted. A simple repair like a new screen or battery is often all that’s necessary to bring an old phone back to life! The refurbished phones are sold through a trusted partner so someone else can enjoy them. This way we keep their value at its highest level and prevent the purchase of a new phone!

There is 100 times more gold in a ton of e-waste than in a ton of gold ore!

60% are safely recycled

In the end, every electronic product becomes e-waste. Phones that are no longer functional and cannot be repaired go to a European recycling facility where they’re processed to recover the valuable resources inside. For example, did you know that there is 100 times more gold in a ton of e-waste than in a ton of gold ore!

Together, we can help cut down e-waste

You’ve already taken the first step by being curious enough to learn more (thanks!).
