Where do the devices go?
Inspire Technology annually redirects hundreds of thousands of devices to areas of need ensuring they are not being dumped in landfill sites globally.

We extend the life cycle of mobile phones and laptops by recovering and reusing over 95% of the equipment we process. The remains are broken down and recycled responsibly.
The average upgrade cycle for mobile devices is 2 years and this accounts to only a fifth of the potential life cycle. Extending the life cycle of mobile devices and laptops not only reduces waste going to landfill sites but removes the need for the recycling and refining process where extensive energy and resources are used.
Environmental and social benefits of reuse:
• A decreased demand for new products and raw materials
• Affordable technology to undeveloped society/ nations
• Reduced potential landfill waste
• Reduced environmental impact by avoiding the refining/recycling process
• Improved infrastructure in undeveloped nations through increased communication

Meeting your Corporate Social Responsibility objectives
As part of our business values and beliefs we understand the importance of being socially aware and take full responsibility for our actions and services. With over 30 years’ experience in the industry our aim is to provide our customers with sustainable, ethical and innovative recycling solutions that work for both businesses and the environment.
It is our aim to make a huge difference to the lives of people in some of the poorest communities in the world and making an effort to clean up the environment.
Sustainability
At Inspire Technology sustainability is the driving force for everything we do and underpins every aspect of our service. Our priority is to recover and reuse mobile phones and laptops with minimal impact on the environment. As a result of this we have developed successful long lasting sustainable partnerships with our clients reducing landfill waste with minimal impact on the environment.
As well as promoting reuse of our mobile phones and laptops we also reuse our packaging to ensure minimal harm on the environment.
In 2017 we recycled 200,000 electronic devices
This has resulted in the following Co2 emissions saved*
*based on the average handset co2 emissions saved
Supporting developing nations
Once devices have gone through our fully certified recovery and reuse process they are redistributed to emerging markets around the globe to be reused over and over again. We are also proud to support developing nations worldwide, where devices are used to help improve communities, enhance quality of life whilst offering economic possibilities and a valuable infrastructure.
Supporting Charities
Here at Inspire Technology we care about charities. Through our charity scheme, we have created a simple system for businesses to recycle whilst raising money for a different charity every 3 months. With every batch of mobile devices businesses choose to recycle through Inspire Technology, they will have the option to make a donation to charity. This means that businesses can divert their redundant electronic equipment from landfill and support these fantastic charities at the same time.
