Smarty NeuWert's commitment to sustainability
At Smarty NeuWert, we believe that technology should be accessible without compromising the future of our planet. Every refurbished device we offer is a concrete step for the environment, a responsible alternative to electronic overconsumption.
💡 Refurbishment: a powerful ecological act
Manufacturing a new device is extremely resource and energy-intensive. By choosing refurbished, you help to:
Reduce electronic waste : WEEE is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. Every refurbished device is one that does not enter this waste stream.
Preserve natural resources : producing a new smartphone requires the extraction of rare minerals such as coltan and cobalt. Refurbishment reduces the pressure on these precious resources.
Save water : manufacturing a new smartphone requires an average of 12,000 litres of water. Refurbishment avoids this massive consumption.
Reduce CO₂ emissions : a refurbished smartphone generates an average of 16 kg of CO₂ equivalent, compared to 70 TB 80 kg for a new one, representing an 80% reduction.
📊 Key ecological impact figures
| Indicator | Impact |
|---|---|
| CO₂ emissions | 80% reduction compared to a new device |
| Water saved | Up to 12,000 litres per smartphone |
| Electronic waste | 0 waste created — non-reusable components are recycled |
| Natural resources | 259 kg of raw materials preserved per computer |
🔄 A circular economy approach
Refurbishment is fully aligned with a circular economy model, where products are reused and recycled rather than discarded. Unlike recycling, which only recovers raw materials, refurbishment preserves the value already incorporated into the device — energy, water, rare materials — and puts it back into circulation.
At Smarty NeuWert, we go further:
Full traceability : every device is tracked throughout its lifecycle.
Rigorous testing : up to 60 checkpoints for smartphones and 40 for computers.
Certified data wiping : to ensure security and privacy.
24-month warranty extendable to 36 months, just like a new product.
