Refurb is a growing company that trades with refurbished IT with the idea of creating a sustainable business based on circular economy. Every time we sell a computer, we enjoy that the environment has been saved from a lot of electronic scrap and yet another company, a school or a private consumer has acquired a refurbished quality computer at a very advantageous price compared to what they would have pay for a new one.
That's a winning story!
