The birth and growth of an idea
Our story begins with a problem. Peter - one of our founders - bought an iPhone through a second-hand website, but it broke after only a few weeks. Without a warranty, he was left with a broken phone and out of pocket.
Was it his fault? In part, of course. But Peter had consciously decided against the safety of a new device...and for good reason!
Most people are not aware of how environmentally harmful it is to make new electronic devices. During production, huge amounts of CO₂ are emitted, valuable resources are consumed and - in the end - all that remains is problematic electronic waste.
The idea for refurbed was born: a platform for top-quality refurbished products with uniform, high quality standards, where every product is rigorously tested and comes with a warranty. By enabling consumers to buy sustainable devices easily, cheaply and without risk, we make sustainable devices the best option. For ourselves and for the environment.
Together with Kilian and Jürgen, Peter founded refurbed in Vienna in 2017.
