What Happens to Your Traded-In Devices?
After we receive your traded-in devices, they are passed on to our subsidiary, EnB Mobile Sdn Bhd (EnB). EnB Mobile will refurbish, recycle, and resell these devices. This ensures that each device is handled with the utmost care and responsibility.
1. Refurbish: Devices that are still functional and can be restored to good working condition are refurbished by EnB. These refurbished devices are then resold at more affordable prices, giving them a second life and making technology accessible to more people.
2. Recycle: Devices that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled by EnB. By properly dismantling and recycling components, we ensure that valuable materials are recovered and reused, reducing the need for new raw materials.
3. Resell: EnB handles the resale of refurbished devices. This not only helps in extending the lifecycle of electronic products but also supports a circular economy by keeping products in use for as long as possible.
Our Commitment to ESG
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles guide our operations and decision-making processes. Here’s how our trade-in program aligns with these principles:
1. Environmental Responsibility: By refurbishing and recycling traded-in devices, we significantly reduce electronic waste. E-waste is a major environmental concern, as it often contains hazardous materials that can harm our ecosystems. Recycling helps prevent these materials from entering landfills and allows for the recovery of precious metals and other resources.
2. Social Impact: Our trade-in program makes technology more accessible to a wider audience. Refurbished devices offer a cost-effective alternative for individuals and families who might not be able to afford brand-new products. This helps bridge the digital divide and promotes digital inclusion.
3. Governance: We adhere to strict standards in our refurbishment and recycling processes to ensure transparency and accountability. Partnering with our subsidiary, EnB, ensures that all traded-in devices are handled responsibly and ethically.
How Recycling Helps the Environment
Recycling electronic devices has numerous environmental benefits:
1. Conservation of Resources: Recycling recovers valuable materials like gold, silver, copper, and aluminum, reducing the need for mining and the environmental damage associated with it.
2. Energy Savings: Recycling materials often requires less energy compared to producing new materials. For example, recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy needed to produce new aluminum from raw ore.
3. Reduction of Greenhouse Gases: Recycling helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacturing new products. By keeping materials in circulation, we decrease the demand for energy-intensive production processes.
4. Prevention of Pollution: Proper recycling prevents harmful substances found in electronics, such as lead and mercury, from contaminating soil and water. This protects both human health and wildlife.
At Urban Republic, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment and our community. Our trade-in program is just one of the many ways we strive to be a responsible and sustainable business.
