Keeping Tech in Circulation, Reducing Waste
Every year, over 50 million tonnes of electronic waste are discarded worldwide, with smartphones being a major contributor. The environmental cost of producing a single new smartphone is staggering—extracting raw materials, manufacturing components, and shipping devices globally all leave behind a significant carbon footprint. At Revra, we believe there’s a smarter way.
By choosing a Revra refurbished iPhone, you’re helping to extend the life of existing technology, reducing the demand for new production and keeping valuable materials in circulation. Our business model directly supports the circular economy, where resources are reused, refurbished, and reintroduced—rather than wasted.
Cutting Carbon, One Device at a Time
Manufacturing a brand-new smartphone emits an average of 85-95 kg of CO2. By choosing refurbished over new, you help cut these emissions dramatically. If just one in every ten Australians switched to a refurbished phone, we could collectively prevent millions of kilograms of CO2 emissions each year—equivalent to taking thousands of cars off the road.
At Revra, every device we revitalise means:
-
Less mining of finite materials like lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements.
-
Less e-waste ending up in landfill, where toxic chemicals can leach into the environment.
-
More sustainability by keeping high-quality devices in use longer.
Sustainability That’s Built to Last
We don’t just sell refurbished phones—we make sure they last. Every Revra device comes with a lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind and reducing unnecessary device turnover. Plus, with RevCare damage protection, we encourage repair over replacement, further cutting waste and conserving resources.
A Circular Economy in Action
The traditional smartphone industry relies on a linear ‘take-make-dispose’ model, but we’re changing that. Our approach ensures that every device that can be reused, is—maximising value for both the customer and the environment. When you upgrade or return your Revra phone, we recondition it for the next user, keeping the cycle going.
Small Changes, Big Impact
Switching to a refurbished phone may seem like a small step, but when millions make the change, the impact is enormous. At Revra, we’re not just providing great devices—we’re leading a movement towards smarter, more sustainable technology use. By choosing Revra, you’re making a positive difference for the planet with every call, message, and photo.
Join us in building a future where technology and sustainability go hand in hand. Choose Revra—the home of revitalised tech.
