The story of refurbed
It all started when Peter, now co-founder of refurbed, had a bad experience buying a used smartphone, which stopped working after just a few weeks.
Peter unfortunately had no guarantee, and no chance of getting his money back... was he asking for it? You could say partly, yes...
Perhaps Peter could have simply bought a new phone, but he was aware of the environmental impact of producing new electronic devices: exorbitant amounts of CO₂ emissions, waste of valuable raw materials, and the production of more electronic waste that is difficult to dispose of.
After being burned when trying to do the right thing, Peter said to himself: 'There must be an alternative solution!" This is where the idea of refurbed came from: a platform for refurbished electronic products, which guarantees high standards of quality, safety and warranty -without sacrificing the ecological aspect. In this way, everyone can buy electronic devices safely and in harmony with the environment.
In 2017, Peter, together with Kilian and Jürgen, founded refurbed, based in Vienna. In 2021, refurbed cross the sea to launch in Ireland, and has not looked back since.
