Refurbished Phones are new Way to Save the Environment
Over the last few years, manufacturers have taken steps to reduce the environmental impact of their products. For example, some new phones are made with recycled plastics and come in cardboard boxes instead of plastic ones. But even so, it’s estimated that there are more than 250 million unused cell phones sitting in drawers and cupboards around the world. That’s because many people upgrade to a new phone every year or so—and give away or toss their old one without thinking about where it will end up.

Buying refurbished electronics can help you save money on premium products and support local businesses at the same time.
