Our objective is to reduce e-waste by finding means to repurpose discarded electronic devices that are either operational or beyond repair. We believe that when devices are discarded, they should not be prematurely identified as waste and would like to make people aware of alternative uses that could potentially exist for them. We believe that reuse, repair and ultimately repurposing devices will help slow down the surge of e-waste which is characterized by the shortening lifespan of these devices.

We believe we can empower people to considerably increase the lifespan of devices by changing their purpose from single-use to multi-use; an electronic device consists of a lot of different components that all work in conjunction to provide its functionality. Each of these components can be salvaged or repurposed into something else before the device ends up in a waste stream. | We believe we can empower people to considerably increase the lifespan of devices by changing their purpose from single-use to multi-use; an electronic device consists of a lot of different components that all work in conjunction to provide its functionality.
