Asked back market if can arrange collection from address. They should do this as I've been sent a phone that doesn't work as promised but we shall see what they say No reply yet.

Reborn vs. brand new

Here’s what you help prevent on average by choosing a reborn smartphone over a brand new one.

77.3 kg of carbon

That’s like driving an old banger from London to Edinburgh and back.

6.3 oz of e-waste

That’s around the weight of a baseball.

537.1 lbs of raw materials

That's like 20 dogs digging in your yard for a week.

77,000 litres of water

That's like running a faucet for 3 days
