Refurbished Tech for a sustainable future

Our mission: make the difference with refurbished

We at Janado invite you to become part of a sustainable change. Our goal is to break down existing prejudices against refurbished products - and to offer you a selection of high-quality, durable and sustainable smartphones, tablets and laptops. Because: If you choose a preloved product, you are protecting our natural resources and making an active contribution against the throwaway culture. Our mission is to promote precisely this change in consumer behavior and to create a new environmental awareness – for the future of our planet and for our future generations. We also support the environmental organization Justdiggit: With every device you buy from Janado, a piece of land in Kenya is re-greened.

Our refurbishing process

That's how it works

Procurement and preparation

Our process starts with the procurement of IT equipment from companies that have unused but functional technology. We transport these devices safely to our logistics center. There we ensure that all data is completely deleted and anonymized in order to protect the privacy of the original users.

What is that

Circular economy

At Janado everything revolves about the circular economy: A model that radically differs from the traditional linear economy – the so-called throwaway culture. Instead of supporting the short-lived “produce-use-dispose” cycle, we focus on “Make-Use-Refurbish”.

But what does that mean exactly? It’s simple: we take used IT equipment and carefully prepare them for a new life cycle – that's refurbishing. Not only do we conserve valuable resources, we also prevent the unnecessary mining of rare earths, which are contained in many electronic devices. A win-win situation.

And the highlight: By dispensing with new production we minimize CO2e emissions, electronic waste and water consumption significantly. In this way, we are actively influencing pressing environmental problems such as plastic pollution, e-waste and high CO2e emissions.

But we go one step further: At Janado, our mission is to To raise awareness of the circular economy and thus promote a change in consumer behaviour. Our goal? To establish refurbished as the standard and thus make a significant contribution to a more conscious and resource-efficient lifestyle.

Janado X Justdiggit

A piece of green with every device

Together with Justdiggit, we are making a statement: With every device you buy from us, you are actively helping to support valuable regreening projects in Kenya. The principle is simple: For every device sold, one euro goes towards the construction of bunds, affectionately known as "Earth Smiles". These semi-circular earthen walls collect rainwater, stop the erosion of fertile soil and allow 124 square meters of land per bund to bloom again. These green oases store CO2 and help cool the earth - both locally and worldwide.

Regreening through “Bunds”

Your purchase enables the digging of semi-circular earthen embankments - “bunds” - dug by the Maasai community in Kenya.
