Corporate Responsibility at Trade.com.au

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Trade.com.au, we believe technology should never come at the cost of our planet. Every year, millions of new smartphones are manufactured, contributing to CO₂ emissions, resource extraction, and electronic waste. By choosing a refurbished device instead of buying new, you’re helping to reduce the demand for raw materials like cobalt, lithium, and rare earth metals—resources that require intensive mining and processing.

Research shows that extending the life of a smartphone by just two years cuts its carbon footprint by up to 30–40%. When you purchase a refurbished iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel, or iPad through Trade.com.au, you’re not only saving money—you’re also making a choice that directly reduces global emissions and prevents functional devices from becoming e-waste.

Reducing Plastic Waste with Eco-Friendly Packaging

We know sustainability doesn’t stop at the device. That’s why all Trade.com.au orders are shipped in biodegradable packaging. Unlike many retailers, we refuse to wrap our products in unnecessary plastic. Instead, your refurbished smartphone arrives safely protected in eco-friendly, compostable materials designed to break down naturally—leaving no trace behind.

A Smarter, Greener Choice

Every refurbished smartphone we sell undergoes our 72-point quality testing process, backed by a 12-month warranty. That means you get the same peace of mind as buying new, while making a far better choice for the environment.

At Trade.com.au, we’re proud to stand for sustainable technology, reduced emissions, and plastic-free packaging—because the future of smartphones should be as smart for the planet as it is for you.
