THE NEED
IS TO RENEW
OUR PLANET

Why Renew?

The problem lies with mining for metals which itself takes up 85% to 95% of a device’s total CO2 emissions for two years. That means the energy required to make a new phone is the same as energy needed to charge & operate a smartphone for an entire decade

The lion’s share of this footprint is the production process.The components are produced withmaterials that are processed from ores that aremined. So, that 160 gram phone requires about 30kg of the earth to be mined to make its components. When the mined ores are processed it creates around 85kg of solid and liquid waste.That's 99.8% waste before that phone has even been used .

+2 BILLION

The footprint of a single device may seem trivial. But looking at the global picture, over 2 billion mobile phones are sold annually, a consistently rising figure

14%

ICT represented 1% of the world’s carbon footprint in 2007 which by 2040 will exceed 14% claiming a portion that’s half as large as the carbon impact of the entire transport industry.

Let's undo the Damage

WE CAN INCREASE
THE LIFE CYCLE OF OUR RACE

ALL YOU NEED TO DO
IS GO RENEW.

What are renewed phones?

If we could all come to see our consumer products as tools that help us to live our real lives- rather than as substitutes and surrogates for that life-we would need many fewer products to be happy. And we would keep the ones we already have for longer.

If enough of us can undo, we might just stand a chance of keeping what we need most of all: a planet that can continue to nourish, protect, and sustain us all.

RENEWED DEVICE CREATE 80% LESS WASTE. YOU CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE WITH JUST THIS LITTLE STEP

We decided to make a climate conscious decision. We see that you did too. Now that you’re here, take the next step. Make a renewed choice.
