What is Back2Buzz All About?
Back2Buzz is a Belgian company that’s been making waves since 2016. Founded by Mr. Philippe Honhon, it started out with a simple mission: create a distribution platform for electronic goods, mainly mobile accessories sourced from the Far East, and get them into the hands of retailers across the BeLux region. But that was just the beginning… By the end of 2016, Back2Buzz shifted gears and began importing second-hand smartphones. The idea? To refurbish these devices using advanced software tools, then repackage them with new boxes, fresh accessories, and—here’s the kicker—a solid 2-year warranty. Today, Back2Buzz has grown into a true one-stop-shop, specializing in high-grade refurbished smartphones and eco-friendly accessories, serving customers in Belgium, France, and even the Dom-Tom territories.
The Main Benefit: Sustainability Meets Quality
Back2Buzz isn’t just about selling phones; it’s about making a real difference. Here are some key figures that tell the story:
- +1 MILLION devices sold so far
- 18 MONTHS average lifespan added to a smartphone
- 70+ KG of raw materials needed to make just one smartphone
- 100% founder-owned company, keeping it personal and passionate
By extending the life of smartphones by 2 to 3 years before they’re recycled, Back2Buzz helps cut down electronic waste and saves precious minerals from being wasted. It’s a win-win for tech lovers and the planet alike.
How Back2Buzz Supports the Circular Economy
Back2Buzz is more than just a refurbisher—it’s a champion of the circular economy. The company’s approach focuses on giving smartphones a second, even third life, reducing the mountain of electronic waste piling up worldwide. By controlling the refurbishment process with software tools and quality checks, Back2Buzz ensures that every device meets high standards before it reaches customers. This commitment not only helps reduce environmental impact but also promotes responsible consumption and production.
Eco-Friendly Accessories: A Greener Choice
It’s not just about phones. Back2Buzz also offers a range of biodegradable and eco-friendly accessories. From phone cases to chargers, these products are designed to minimize environmental harm without compromising on style or functionality. This one-stop-shop approach means customers can outfit their devices sustainably, making it easier than ever to choose green options in everyday tech.
Expanding Horizons: From Europe to Emerging Markets
Back2Buzz has already established a solid distribution network across Europe, particularly in Belgium and France, including the overseas Dom-Tom regions. But the journey doesn’t stop there. The company has ambitious plans to expand into emerging markets, bringing its high-grade refurbished smartphones and eco-friendly accessories to new customers eager to reduce their ecological footprint. This expansion aims to spread the benefits of circular economy practices far and wide.
