WHY BUYING PRE OWNED PRODUCTS IS A SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

Rich Bulger/ March 8th, 2023

As the CEO of RecirQ, a sustainability company that facilitates the resale of pre-owned products like cell phones, I’m often asked about the benefits of buying pre-owned devices. The answer is simple – buying pre-owned cell phones is a sustainable choice. Regardless of whether you are team Apple or team Samsung, or if you want to connect your device to Verizon, T-Mobile, ATT, or any other wireless carrier, recirculating is smart.

Sustainability is a critical concern for many of us. The environmental impact of our purchases is significant, and it’s essential that we make choices that reduce our carbon footprint. Buying pre-owned cell phones is an easy way to make a positive impact on the environment.

Here’s why:

  1. Reduced E-waste: E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally, and electronic devices contribute significantly to it. By buying pre-owned cell phones, you help reduce the amount of e-waste that ends up in landfills. Instead, you’re giving a new life to a device that would have otherwise been discarded.
  2. Reduced Carbon Footprint: The production of new cell phones requires a significant amount of energy and natural resources. By buying pre-owned phones, you’re reducing the demand for new devices, and therefore reducing the carbon footprint associated with their production. Additionally, by purchasing pre-owned phones, you’re reducing the need for transportation, packaging, and other resources associated with the sale of new devices.
  3. Cost-Effective: Buying pre-owned cell phones is also a cost-effective choice. You can often buy cell phones in bulk at wholesale prices, making it a more affordable option than purchasing new devices. You can check out our selection of pre-owned products for sale can be found at buy.recirqglobal.com
  4. Quality Assurance: Contrary to popular belief, preowned smartphones can be just as reliable as new ones. Reputable sellers will ensure that the phones are thoroughly tested and refurbished to meet high-quality standards before they are sold. You can be confident that the pre-owned phone you purchase will work just as well as a new device.
  5. Supporting a Circular Economy: Buying pre-owned cell phones supports a circular economy, where resources are kept in use for as long as possible. By extending the life of electronic devices, we can reduce the need for new ones and keep valuable resources in circulation.


In conclusion, buying pre-owned cell phones is a sustainable choice. It reduces e-waste, reduces our carbon footprint, is cost-effective, provides quality assurance, and supports a circular economy. The next time you’re in the market for a new phone, consider purchasing pre-owned. Not only will you be making a positive impact on the environment, but you’ll also be making a smart financial decision.
