Saving Gadgets from Garbage: The Environmental Impact of Technology

You know, there are 70 million tons of e-waste, of which only 20% get recycled, accounting for an unbelievable 6% of global carbon dioxide emissions? Although the problem of e-waste is HUGE, thankfully, companies such as Reebelo are rising to the challenge.

In a recent session on LinkedIn Live, Hari Vijayarajan, Reebelo's CEO, shared their mission to promote sustainable consumption via refurbished electronics and eco-friendly new products, even overstocked items across a wide range: from baby gear to sports equipment and home appliances, Reebelo is the way to get what you need without the environmental guilt.

How do they do it?

Reebelo teams up with eco-conscious vendors to recycle used electronics and turn them into renewed products. You can clear out your space and earn rewards for your old gadgets through their trade-in program. Reebelo then refurbishes these devices.

Moreover, in line with Hari's highlight, they are also driving consumer education on sustainable practices to empower choices.

How could these sustainable practices benefit your retail business?

Not only will it attract eco-conscious consumers, it'll also cut down on waste and align your brand with a growing trend. It's a win-win for Mother Earth and your bottom line!
