A NEW LIFE FOR EVERY DEVICE
This initiative is in collaboration with:
What do we collect?
We collect smartphones, laptops, tablets and much more, and refurbish or recycle them in an environmentally sound manner. Join us in making technology more sustainable and reducing e-waste!
Embrace the circular economy
More & more electronics are part of our daily lives, but too often used for a relatively short period of time and treated as if they are disposable. Taking smartphones as an example, 80% of carbon emission comes from the manufacturing process. So, take care of your electronics and use them longer! No more need for a functional device? Think about donating it.
Repairing – not recycling – is the first step to tackling electronic waste. Repairing is often cheaper than buying new and prolonging the lifetime of your devices is better for our planet.
There might be alternatives for new! Professionally refurbished devices exist, with the same warranty as new.
The recycling phase in e-waste management centers on dismantling non-repairable or outdated electronic devices to recover valuable materials and minimize environmental harm. It involves processing raw materials like metals and plastics, enabling their reuse in the production of new products.
Creatively repurposing old electronic components or devices for new uses, extending the life cycle of your electronics is a great way to reduce e-waste, save money, and contribute to a more sustainable environment.
What we aim for?
At One Circle, we’re committed to safeguarding both health and the environment by giving e-waste a second life.
Through responsible refurbishing, we prevent harmful toxins from impacting our communities and natural ecosystems, ensuring a safer, cleaner world for everyone. By putting valuable resources back into the economy, we’re not just minimizing waste – we’re driving innovation and creating new opportunities for a sustainable future.
This dedication drives our goals and key performance indicators (KPIs), ensuring every step we take leads to meaningful impact, measurable success, and lasting change.
