When you buy a certified pre-owned phone, you’re not just saving money, you’re helping the planet too. E-waste is one of the world’s fastest-growing waste streams, with millions of tonnes of old electronics dumped every year. By choosing a certified pre-owned phone from PrO, you’re keeping perfectly good devices in use and out of landfills.
The hidden cost of a new phone
Did you know that around 75% of a phone’s total carbon footprint comes from manufacturing? From mining precious metals to production and transport, a new phone leaves a big mark. By buying a pre-owned device, you cut out that production footprint entirely.
Same quality, smarter choice
At PrO, all our phones are tested, certified and graded so you know exactly what to expect. Our Pristine devices are as close to new as it gets. Premium phones may show light signs of use but still deliver top-notch performance, and our Gelukkie range keeps good devices affordable for everyone.
Why it matters
Reusing devices also supports the circular economy - a way of doing business that focuses on reuse and repair instead of waste and overproduction. It’s a small step with a big impact. For example, buying one refurbished smartphone saves up to 79 kg of CO₂ emissions, equal to driving over 300 km in a petrol car.
Saving made simple
The best part? You’re not only helping the planet, you’re saving money too. Get your dream phone for less than you’d pay brand new, with full peace of mind. Every PrO device comes with a 12-month warranty for extra confidence.
So next time you upgrade, make it a smart, sustainable one. Shop certified pre-owned phones online with PrO.
