It’s a simple fact: not all green is created equal these days. While reuse is sometimes confused with recycling, GreenCells customers know that it is actually the ultimate green choice. Why? For cell phones, reuse not only saves the manufacture of a new phone, it slows the harmful release of pollutants often associated with recycling electronic components. And it comes at a value, yet another benefit of green via reuse. GreenCells customers are buying our eco-friendly phones for half price and taking advantage of can’t-lose offerings like our 360° shipping, year warranty, and trade-in/trade-up program that make reuse a trusted, viable choice.

Saying no to new is now a worldwide trend, according to this year’s National Geographic Greendex study, which shows a rise in reuse in half of the 17 countries surveyed, including America, Canada, and Australia. With cell phones, those choosing to reuse are making the connection that the impact is significant. Everyone’s heard of the 100 million cell phones discarded annually. Each time we choose to extend the life of a cell phone, we slow the product life cycle down. Recent research shows that extending the service life of phones from one to four years decreases the environmental impact by about 40%. So if you’ve made a GreenCells purchase, flaunt your green phone. Reuse is eco-fashion at its best—smart, savvy, and here to stay.
