All old devices collected through the programme undergo data sanitization
Cartlow, the leading reverse logistics platform, has partnered with E-City, a multi-brand electronics retail group, to launch a new device subscription program across 16 stores in the UAE.
The programme aims to align with the UAE’s 2023 vision for sustainability by providing customers with affordable and convenient options to prolong the life cycle of their devices and reduce electronic waste, a press statement indicated.
In the device subscription program, customers will constantly have the latest device by securing its exchange value for future use. This program simplifies the process of keeping up with the latest technology by eliminating the need to sell or trade-in the current device.
Sanitization
All old devices collected through the programme undergo data sanitization following international standards for IT Asset Disposal services. The program adheres to circular economy principles, meaning that collected devices are either repaired, refurbished, or recycled to minimize waste and promote sustainability, according to the press statement.
Cartlow has managed over 2mn products since its inception, resulting in a groundbreaking contribution to saving over 6mn kg of e-waste and 36mn kg of carbon emissions. The platform aims to further dominate the global reverse logistics market, which is projected to reach US$ 958bn in 2028, the press note continued.
“As a leading advocate for reducing the environmental impact of electronic waste, we take pride in our efforts to provide sustainable and cost-effective solutions to our customers,” commented Mohammad Sleiman, Founder and CEO, Cartlow.
