Reboxed is a better way to sell, donate or recycle your tech. Consumer electronics is one of the world’s most polluting industries generating around 50 million tonnes of e-waste every year. And every single one of those devices has taken precious earthly materials to create, at a cost to the environment and local communities. Reboxed is here to change that. Reboxed is a start-up based in South London on a mission to help tackle the e-waste crisis by rehoming 100 million devices by 2030. Their new circular business model - rehome, rebox, repeat is not only designed with the planet in mind, but their devices are better for your pocket too at up to 40% cheaper than buying new. Reboxed also runs a donation programme, partnering with UK charity Hubbub to connect the 7 million people in the UK without internet access through their 'Rehome Your Phone' initiative. Plus, for every phone rehomed, reboxed plants trees to help offset the device's lifetime Co2 emissions, all thanks to their partnership with Ecologi. Reboxed is not just a new way of buying and selling tech; they're here to transform the industry for better. Make the switch today.
