In a world where technology is advancing rapidly, the issue of electronic waste is becoming more pressing. Moorup, a technology recommerce company founded in 2018, is on a mission to change that.

The Growing Problem of Electronic Waste
Every year, millions of smartphones are discarded worldwide. In Australia, electronic waste is growing at a rate faster than household waste. This is a huge problem. Many people don’t recycle their phones when they are done using them. This leads to a lot of waste that ends up in landfills. Moorup aims to change this by encouraging people and businesses to recycle and reuse their devices. By doing so, we can help reduce the carbon footprint created by smartphones.
Creating a Circular Economy
Moorup is dedicated to creating a better circular economy for smart devices and ICT technology. This means that instead of throwing away old devices, we can give them a new life. By working with telcos, retailers, and government agencies, Moorup helps extend the life of devices. This not only benefits the environment but also helps businesses save money. Companies can trade in their old devices and receive value for them, which can be used to purchase new technology.
Partnerships for a Sustainable Future
At Moorup, we believe that collaboration is key to achieving sustainability goals. We are proud to partner with organizations like Mobile Muster to make a positive impact on both local and global scales. These partnerships allow us to provide better solutions for recycling and reusing devices. Together, we can challenge the throw-away culture and educate businesses on the benefits of device buy-back schemes and recycling programs.
Social Responsibility and Community Impact
Moorup is not just about technology; it’s also about people. We understand that access to digital devices is a privilege that not everyone has. That’s why we donate a portion of the devices we buy back to charities and organizations that support those in need. By doing this, we help close the digital divide and support survivors of domestic violence and other vulnerable groups. Our commitment to social responsibility is at the heart of what we do.
Commitment to Sustainability
As a B Corp certified and carbon neutral company, Moorup holds itself to high sustainability standards. We are transparent and accountable for our actions. Our commitment to sustainability is not just a marketing strategy; it’s built into our everyday practices. We prioritize reusing devices, recycling responsibly, and donating to those in need. This is how we are making a difference in the world.
