Numbers don’t lie: Refurbished vs. New

«Hot tub time» Machine
Some might say that’s what a refurbished phone is. A new phone uses up about 73 hot tubs worth of water. Buy refurbished and you’ll save 60 hot tubs worth. And through this mental gymnastics you, a totally reasonable person, could maybe justify 25 hot tub parties. Right?

Electronic devices are hardcore metal. We mean literally loaded with heavy metals. 381 kg of raw materials need to be dug up to produce a single smartphone. Keep metal alive…by keeping it in circulation. Buy renewed electronics that Slay(er).

What do you get when you buy a new phone? 199 grams of electronic waste. E-waste is toxic. Like, lead and mercury in your water toxic. Let that fish go, and choose renewed. All the flash minus the trash (and the toxic environment that comes that).
