Every year, the start of the new school year brings with it a list of essential equipment. Electronics are on that list, and opting for refurbished products is a smart decision. For your customers, it means saving money and making a commitment to circularity by giving a second life to quality equipment, while reducing your environmental footprint. It's a win-win situation.

According to a recent study, refurbished electronic products are gaining in popularity at an astonishing rate.  It is estimated that 282.6 million second-hand and refurbished mobile phones will be sold worldwide in 2022, representing an 11.5% increase in sales compared with 2021.
This growth is due not only to budgetary reasons, but also to a growing awareness of the environmental impact of our purchasing choices.

Indeed, buying refurbished products reduces the demand for new manufacture, which means fewer natural resources used and less electronic waste. Every refurbished smartphone, laptop or tablet that finds a new user helps to reduce the amount of e-waste polluting our planet.

In this article, we explore in detail the four essential refurbished products to have in your shop window for a successful back-to-school!
