Trade in. Open the circular economy. Close the tech gap.

The circular economy is our world’s passage to a more sustainable and digitally inclusive future.

Transforming our design and consumption practices can save some of the planet's most valuable resources. And through trade-ins, we can help reduce the "technology gap", enabling millions of people to access the latest technology.

A Gap We Can Close Together

Here’s the thing: we live in a world of digital divide. To be exact, around 3 billion people every year strive to access the latest technology. Meanwhile, around 1 billion smartphones are left unused and around 1,5 billion BRAND-NEW smartphones are sold yearly.

This is why Trade-in counts so much

We bring automated omni-channel smartphone buyback technology to create fast, fun, and accurate trade-in experiences, saving people money and connecting more people with the latest technology

Now that’s a real WIN 💰-WIN 🌍

Our partners and we have joined forces to grow a global network for distributing refurbished smartphones, empowering communities around the world.

Having access to affordable, refurbished smartphones ensures more and more people are connected to the world and can pursue their education or career goals.

However, geographical, social/ethnic, and income-related disparities in technology access continue to exist.
