Save money and the environment by extending your electronic product's life cycle  

27 February, 2023

The world is becoming increasingly dependent on electronics, and it's no surprise that when a device reaches its end-of-life, we're immediately tempted to replace it. But what if there were ways to make our devices last longer and extend their lifespans? 

Not only would this save us money in the long run, but it would also be more environmentally friendly. In this article, we'll go over some tips for making your tech last longer and extending the life of your devices. We'll also highlight the durability of Mobile Center's products and the company's commitment to being eco-friendly.

Extending the Lifespan of Your Electronic Devices: Tips and Tricks

  • Keep your devices' cleanliness up to date

One simple way to extend the lifespan of your electronic devices is to keep them clean. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on your device over time, causing it to run less efficiently and potentially causing damage. Regularly cleaning your device can help to extend its lifespan. This can be as simple as using a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior, or using compressed air to blow out any dust or debris that has accumulated inside.

  • Protect your device from physical damage

Another way to extend the life of your electronic devices is to protect them from physical damage. Dropping your device or exposing it to extreme temperatures can cause serious damage. To prevent this, consider using a case or protective cover for your device, and keep it in a safe place where it's less likely to get bumped or knocked around.

  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions 

It's also important to use your device as it was intended. This means following the manufacturer's instructions for use and avoiding any actions that could cause the device to break or malfunction. For example, if your device is not waterproof, avoid getting it wet or using it near water.

Upgrading the software on your device can also help to extend its lifespan. New software updates often include performance improvements and security patches, which can help to keep your device running smoothly and protect it from potential vulnerabilities. Check for updates regularly and install them as needed.

  • Repair before replace 

If your device is experiencing an issue, rather than replacing it, consider repairing it. This can be a more cost-effective and sustainable option. Many electronic components can be replaced or repaired, and doing so can extend the life of your device.

 

 

  • Consider a refurbished device 

Another sustainable option is to consider buying a refurbished device. Refurbished devices have often been restored to their original condition and can be a good value for the price. Plus, buying refurbished helps to reduce waste and has a lower environmental impact compared to buying a brand new device.

  • Choose sustainability

When shopping for electronic devices, consider choosing brands that are committed to sustainability. For example, Muvit is a brand that uses technology to make products from waste. By choosing eco-friendly brands, you can be confident that you're making a positive impact on the environment.

Mobile Center — durable products and ecological responsibility 

Mobile Center is an eco-conscious company with ISO9001 and ISO14001 certification, meaning that we process our waste and pay taxes in accordance with EU law. Company policy states that employees should keep waste to a minimum, always sorting and using resources responsibly. We believe that lesser consumption of paper, water, electricity, and batteries will solve many problems in the first place. The rest is just making sure waste gets properly disposed of. 

One of our biggest recent achievements is the purchase of a packaging robot, which dramatically reduced the consumption of paper, plastic, and other materials. The robot also optimized our resources, speeding up the packing process, and reducing physical labor. At the same time, we invest in a shredding cardboard boxes machine and use the  shredded material to pack our parcels to secure our products in shipment boxes. Finally, we also collect old batteries and not working or old tech equipment and we reutilized them.

Pre-Owned Phones

Mobile Center offers a wide selection of refurbished smartphones from various brands at affordable prices, allowing customers to make eco-conscious choices while also contributing to a cleaner environment. By offering this product line, we are taking a step towards a more sustainable future.

All our Pre-Owned smartphones are tested and approved by a certified technician center, have the original manufacturer's IP class, have been reset to factory settings, and have a hard reset on software to ensure the removal of all data from the previous owner and a 24-month international warranty.

Muvit — leading sustainability 

At the same time, we want to team up with partners and brands with the same sustainability goals and are committed to implementing practices and policies that protect the environment. 

Muvit is one of those brands. The company collects used mobile phone accessories, processes and grinds the old products into granules, and use them to make new cases. But there's some sustainability in Muvit than that.

 

 

Muvit designs phone cases that are 100% recycled and recyclable, produced using recycled plastic. Crushing enables us to create granules that we reinject to make new products. In this way, Muvit prevents the waste of fossil energy and promotes the fight against over-consumption. 

Simultaneously, Muvit launched a range of phone cases that are 100% biodegradable and made of natural materials such as bamboo fiber and cornstarch. This mixture is supple and resistant, thus ensuring maximum absorption of shocks and radiation in everyday life.

In conclusion, there are several ways to extend the lifespan of your electronic devices and make them last longer. From keeping them clean and protected to repairing rather than replacing them, everyone has options. 

By following these tips and being mindful of the life cycle of your electronic devices, you can save money and reduce waste. Mobile Center's durable products and commitment to eco-friendliness make them a great choice for those looking to positively impact the environment.
