Transforming E-waste into

Digital Empowerment

Building a sustainable future through device refurbishment,
digital inclusion, and community empowerment.

ReUSE Revamp™ is a social enterprise founded in 2023 that transforms e-waste into affordable digital access for communities across Mauritius and Rodrigues. We prioritize eligible students, job seekers, and nonprofit organizations, who only pay a small repair fee based on the device.

We collect used and damaged laptops, printers, and other equipment. Each item is repaired or upgraded, disks are securely replaced when necessary, and every device undergoes rigorous testing before redistribution. Our approach follows the 7 R’s of sustainable tech: Repair, Refurbish, ReUSE, Redistribute, Repurpose, Recycle, and Revamp.

We focus mainly on laptops and computers because they create the highest impact in education, employability, and digital inclusion. Unlike many other electronic devices, a single working laptop can unlock access to learning, job applications, online courses, AI tools, and essential digital skills. Refurbishing laptops also reduces significant e-waste while directly empowering communities with the tools they need to study, work, and innovate.

We uphold strong data-protection standards and empower communities through laptop refurbishment, hands-on training, and inclusive tech education—bridging both the digital and AI divides. As the official coordinator of STEM Racing™ Mauritius, we also inspire young people through science, technology, and innovation.

Our work aligns with the Ministry of Technology and Communication’s Digital Blueprint (Pillar 4), contributing to a more inclusive, sustainable, and digitally resilient future for all.

My name is Julie, I’m very grateful to Mrs. Nathalie for helping me acquire a laptop through ReUSE Revamp. This laptop has been a great support for my studies at Polytechnics Mauritius and is making a real difference in my learning journey.
