The issue of electronic waste is ever-increasing, and we are dedicated to ensuring that our devices leave as little damage as possible for future generations to deal with. Through recommerce, we can do our bit towards minimising e-waste while also creating value for our clients and partners.
The Information and Communication Industry (ICT) represented 1% of the carbon footprint in 2007…
Devices are made, they break or become obsolete, and more often than not, they end up in the landfill. While recycling is a great option and one that can help to lessen the effects of e-waste on the environment, reports show that the majority of natural resources are spent in the manufacturing and first transport of a product, whether using new or recycled materials. Refurbishment and reuse are the best methods of reducing the footprint of electronics on our planet.
For recommerce solutions to be effective in their environmental aims, they must also be commercially viable. Maximising device life and offering avenues to resell devices or buy them second-hand has financial benefits to sellers and buyers alike.
