Circular Feature Showcase: Relove Technology
At Relove Technology, sustainability is their core business. Their vision is to revolutionise technology recycling and reverse the e-waste crisis by creating sustainable solutions that benefit people and planet. Their guiding principle is clear: reuse is the best form of recycling. Their ambition is to achieve 100% reuse and zero landfill, ensuring technology can be enjoyed by all without costing the Earth.
Relove’s journey into the circular economy began in 2008 where they pioneered the recovery and reuse of used accessories, diverting over 9,000 tonnes of product from landfill. Since then, their services have developed to cover the full product spectrum used by consumers and businesses alike.
Headquartered in Surrey, UK, Relove delivers ethical recovery and disposal solutions to the mobile industry, SMEs, and third-sector organisations across the UK, Europe, and USA. Their services span accessory & device triage, cosmetic grading, parts harvesting, and secure certified data erasure, helping clients meet their financial and ESG goals while ensuring brand protection, data security protection, and environmental compliance.
Most importantly, Relove prioritises reuse over recycling. That strategy, and the way they execute it, enables extended product lifecycles, reduces e-waste, and returns greater value to their clients - setting them apart in an economy that often gravitates towards recycling,
Relove’s dedication to ethical practice is underpinned by an impressive set of accreditations and awards, including:
Investors in People Platinum
Certified B Corp
ISO 9001
ISO 14001
ISO 27001
Cyber Essentials
AATF
Mobile Industry Awards Best Place to Work 2024
Looking ahead, Relove is broadening the impact of its mission: expanding its circular model to a wider product range, deepening partnerships across the UK and Europe, and continuing to cut e-waste while making technology accessible to all 👏👏.
And don’t just take our word for it - here’s what CEO Paul has to say:
