Committed to the Environment
How our core service helps keep broken phones in production, extending lifecycles, and maximizing resource efficiency.
Repair, Don't Replace
Green Remanufacturing & Recycling
It’s not always the first thought that comes to mind, but we are an extremely environmentally mindful company! At our core, we provide a service that keeps old, broken, and malfunctioning phones in production for as long as possible.
We go right against the old mantra of “replace, don’t repair,” which causes tons of still-serviceable electronic equipment to end up in landfills. Instead, we rigidly follow the three pillars of environmental recycling:
- Reduce
- Reuse
- Recycle
Our remanufacturing processes prove just how committed to the environment we are, taking that extra step to remain outstanding stewards of the earth.
Eco-Conscious Refurbishing
Protecting the environment while saving you up to 60% compared to buying brand-new manufacturer handsets.
Outstanding Stewards of the Earth
How Our Remanufacturing Process Protects the Planet
Five ways our repair-first approach keeps still-serviceable telecom equipment out of landfills.
-
Landfill Reduction
We drastically reduce the absolute volume of specialized telecommunication devices that end up buried in public waste sites.
-
PCB Salvaging (Printed Circuit Boards)
PCB production is highly energy-intensive and involves toxic chemical acid-etching. We deploy all our engineering capabilities to repair damaged circuit boards rather than throwing them away.
-
Component Segregation
We disassemble, sort, and clean all removed raw metals and plastics. These are carefully delivered to certified industrial waste collection partners for full recycling.
-
Battery Cell Recycling
We work with specialized local hazardous solid waste agencies to correctly process spent phone battery chemistries, including heavy metals like Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), and Lithium-Ion (Li-ion).
-
100% Green Energy Web Architecture
Even our newly engineered static server infrastructure runs on server facilities that are backed by 100% renewable wind and solar matching!
