Looking For a New Phone? A Refurbished Smartphone is a Great Sustainable Option!
Earth Day is a time for us all to reflect on our practices and find ways to be more sustainable, especially when it comes to electronics.
Did you know that over 40 million tons of electronic waste are accumulated in landfills across the globe each year? With Canadians generating an average of 725,000 tonnes of e-waste yearly, these statistics should be eye-opening. We are dealing with a significant e-waste issue worldwide, and it is up to us to make a difference through the choices we make every day.
If you are looking for an affordable and environmentally-conscious way to upgrade or sell your mobile phone this year, consider joining the electronic recycling movement by shopping for Certified Pre-Owned devices.
Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) devices are previously owned devices that have been tested and inspected to ensure they are in full working order. Each phone is vetted for quality and given a quality rating before being sold to the customer at a lower price than a new phone. The best part is that choosing a CPO device produces 86% less carbon emissions per year compared to a new device.
At Mobile Klinik, we strive for a more sustainable world by offering customers cash to trade in their old devices. We also hold Samsung and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) certifications which grant us access to genuine OEM parts. Our expert technicians then refurbish these devices and grade them based on their quality before reselling them at a lower price. By repairing, repurposing, and harvesting parts from old devices where possible, we’re increasing the lifecycle of thousands of phones each year, helping to keep e-waste out of landfills without compromising quality for our customers.
When you trade in your old mobile device at a Mobile Klinik store, you receive a pre-loaded VISA card at the appraised value of your device. Then, you can buy a refurbished model from our store, unlocked and ready to pair with your existing SIM card. Or, you can save the credit to spend at any VISA-accepted retailer in the mall– it’s up to you!
You can be confident that buying a Certified Pre-Owned device will not compromise the features and functions of your smartphone that you rely on daily. At Mobile Klinik, our devices go through multiple rounds of rigorous inspection to ensure they’re fully functional before grading them for sale. Take action this Earth Day and start incorporating sustainable shopping practices to protect the environment today and for years to come!
