Giving Technology a Second Life — Responsibly
At Zextons, sustainability isn't just a trend — it's our core mission. Every device we refurbish, every order we ship, and every customer we serve helps reduce electronic waste and build a greener future for the UK and beyond.
We believe that technology should empower lives without harming the planet — and through our eco-conscious refurbishment model, we're proving that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Each year, millions of phones, tablets, and laptops end up in landfills — many of them still functional. At Zextons, we're on a mission to break that waste cycle.
Our approach focuses on three simple but powerful steps:
We collect and buy pre-owned devices from across the UK.
Our expert engineers inspect, repair, and restore every product to peak performance.
We sell fully tested, high-quality refurbished devices at affordable prices — giving technology a new life.
This circular model means fewer new products need to be manufactured, saving energy, materials, and emissions every step of the way.
Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world. According to the Global E-Waste Monitor, over 57 million tonnes of e-waste were generated in 2024 — and only 17% of it was properly recycled.
When devices are discarded instead of reused, harmful materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium can leach into the environment, contaminating soil and water. On top of that, manufacturing new electronics consumes huge amounts of energy and resources.
Every device undergoes comprehensive 70+ point testing to ensure performance, safety, and reliability. We replace only what's necessary, keeping waste to a minimum.
Our packaging is 100% recyclable and made from FSC-certified materials. We avoid single-use plastics wherever possible and use compact boxes to reduce shipping impact.
Zextons' facilities use energy-efficient equipment and digital documentation systems to reduce paper use.
For every purchase made, Zextons contributes to tree planting projects in the UK and overseas — turning your tech purchase into an act of reforestation.
Each refurbished device comes with up to an 18-month warranty, encouraging long-term use and repair rather than replacement.
