Problem
Many used electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, and consoles, remain unused in homes, representing a missed opportunity to recover value and promote environmental sustainability. Existing buy-back and recycling programs often lack convenient drop-off locations and transparent pricing, discouraging participation.
Solution
Reyouzz provides a platform in France for users to resell or recycle their used electronics through a buy-back system, promoting a circular economy. Users can estimate the value of their items online or at a REborne kiosk, then deposit them at a designated location. Reyouzz then reconditions the electronics for resale or ensures they are properly recycled, rewarding users with payment. The platform offers a convenient and transparent way for individuals to participate in sustainable practices while recouping value from their unused devices.
