When you think about buying refurbished tech, your first thought might be saving money. But there’s a bigger win behind every device that’s given a second life: the planet.
At Mobile Reborn, we believe that sustainability should be simple. That’s why we refurbish and resell devices that still have plenty of life left in them. But just how much of an environmental impact does buying refurbished really have?
Let’s break it down.
📊 The Environmental Cost of New vs Refurbished Tech
Every new smartphone or tablet comes with an environmental footprint—one that’s larger than most people realize. From mining raw materials to powering production lines, the process consumes massive amounts of energy and water, while generating significant carbon emissions.
Here's how buying refurbished compares to buying new:
| Category | New Device | Refurbished Device | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| CO₂ Emissions | ~70 kg per smartphone | ~15 kg per smartphone | ~80% reduction |
| E-Waste | Adds to landfill | Extends device lifespan | Less landfill waste |
| Water Use | ~13,000 liters | <1,000 liters | Huge savings |
| Energy Use | Full production cycle required | Just diagnostics & repairs | Much lower energy use |
♻️ What We’re Doing at Mobile Reborn
At Mobile Reborn, sustainability isn’t a side note—it’s the core of everything we do.
-
We refurbish thousands of devices every year, giving them new life and keeping them out of landfills.
-
We test, repair, and clean each device, ensuring it works like it should—with no need for new production.

We use sustainable packaging and support proper recycling for devices that truly can’t be revived.
Every device we refurbish helps reduce demand for new manufacturing. That means fewer emissions, less mining, and more responsible use of the Earth’s resources.
