refurbed

Labas, Lithuania! 💚 Have you heard the news yet? We are excited to share that refurbed is now live in Lithuania, bringing professionally refurbished electronics to customers across the country! Lithuania is one of 12 new markets we have entered in 2026, bringing refurbed to 24 European markets. And while we are only getting started, things are already off to a very strong start. While a big share of orders come from Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda, we see interest all across the country! A few things we have already learned: 📱 Smartphones are leading the way, accounting for 68% of sales, followed by laptops at 18%. 🌱 Lithuanian consumers take a practical approach to tech. 32% say they use their devices for six years or longer, while only 3% consider having the newest model important. 💡At the same time, refurbished is still a relatively new concept. 63% of surveyed consumers do not yet have a clear understanding of what refurbished means. For us, that makes Lithuania an especially interesting market. There is already a strong culture of using technology for longer, and now we have the opportunity to make professionally refurbished devices more accessible, with clear quality standards, at least 12 months warranty and prices up to 40% lower than new. Our goal has always been to make refurbished the new normal. With Lithuania joining the refurbed community, we are another step closer. 💚 Welcome, Lithuania! #refurbed #Lithuania #Refurbished #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Tech

The first day of autumn is here, and you can definitely feel it getting cooler – at least here in Vienna. 🍂🌧️ As the temperatures start to drop, working from home suddenly sounds a little more appealing. And as routines settle back in after summer, it is also a good moment to give your home office setup a quick check. Whatever your setup needs, choosing refurbished is a simple way to get the tech you need while giving existing devices a second life – and all that while saving CO2 and money compared to buying new. 👉 If your home office could use an upgrade, check out our refurbished laptops and accessories here: https://lnkd.in/duPSuSic #refurbed #Refurbished #HomeOffice #CircularEconomy #Autumn

A big congratulations to Tommaso Procicchiani, our September People Recognition Award winner! 🎉 What makes Tommaso’s contribution stand out is his combination of ownership, empathy, and clear communication, strengthening collaboration across teams and raising the standard for effective cross squad and cross department work.

People change habits when it actually makes sense to them. It really is that simple. 💡 And it becomes even more powerful when that choice makes sense not only for you, but for the planet too. 🌍 That is something we think about a lot at refurbed: making a more sustainable choice also an attractive one for the person making it. Better for your wallet, better for the planet. 💸🌱 As our co-founder Peter Windischhofer points out in the podcast, there is an important lesson here for consumer companies. Sustainability matters, but it is rarely the only reason people change their habits. The choice also needs to work for the consumer, whether that means a better price, a great product or simply a smarter alternative. And when personal value and positive impact come together, choosing differently becomes a lot easier. 🙌 🎧 One of our favorite moments from this podcast episode, and well worth a re-listen: https://lnkd.in/ddFyaumD #Podcast #refurbed #SustainableTech #RethinkNew #GreenInnovation #ClimateAction #RefurbishmentForGood

It’s Second Hand September! ♻️💚 A whole month dedicated to celebrating pre loved products and giving things a second life. Sounds pretty close to what we do at refurbed, right? Well... almost. 👀 Because while Second Hand and refurbished are often put in the same box, there is an important difference. With Second Hand, you might find a great device that works perfectly. But you do not always know what has been checked, what condition the battery is in or what happens if something stops working. 📱 Refurbished goes one step further. The device is professionally renewed, technically checked and comes with a warranty at refurbed. You can read more about the difference on our blog: https://lnkd.in/ecK_fUym 🔍🛡️ Different approaches, same important idea: keeping products in use for longer and making circular consumption the norm. 🌍 But we want to hear from you:

Another September, another new iPhone; and this time, another price jump. The iPhone 18 Pro starts at €1,449 in Germany, up from €949 for last year's regular iPhone. Design barely changed. Under the hood: a new chip, better camera, longer battery life. Nice upgrades – but do they really justify hundreds of euros more, especially with headline features like Siri AI not even available in Europe yet? Here's the thing: you don't have to choose between "new and expensive" or "missing out." A professionally refurbished iPhone 17 gives you the same camera, the same performance, the same everyday experience – checked, cleaned, and backed by a warranty – for a fraction of the price. That's the more sustainable alternative to buying new, and it's also just... the smarter one for your wallet. The best tech decision this September might be the one you don't make: skip the pre-order, and rethink new. #Apple #iPhone18Pro #refurbed #RethinkNew

Refurbishment is one of the clearest levers we have for a functioning circular economy in Europe and we are proud to help shape that at the political level. #EUREFAS #refurbed #refurbishedtech #CircularEconomy

There is something exciting about the start of a new semester. A fresh timetable, new plans, and that feeling that anything could happen. 🎓 Then reality kicks in: uni life is expensive, and getting the right tech can take a big chunk out of an already tight student budget. That is where refurbished can make a real difference. A reliable laptop, tablet, or smartphone for less than buying new, while giving perfectly good tech a longer life. 🌱 👉 Get ready for the semester with refurbished tech: https://lnkd.in/eiESGhaJ #BackToUni #refurbed #refurbishedtech #CircularEconomy #SustainableTech #RethinkNew
