Closing the Digital Gap
with Upcycled Laptops.

ReUSE Revamp embodies the core principles of the Circular Economy – we reduce e-waste, reuse laptops, and recycle them at the end of their lifecycle.

We lease our upscaled laptops, rather than sell them to NGOs, SMEs, schools, etc., to ensure they don’t contribute to waste again. In short, we turn e-waste into an empowerment tool. Additionally, we offer hands-on training sessions for educators, learners, and SMEs to tap into the digital opportunities of today.

We also provide upscale of laptop services to individuals for their personal use and collect old laptops as part of our mission to extend the life of electronics.

How will Reuse Revamp's services be rolled out?

Our services will be released in three phases:

  • Phase 1 – We initiate our mission by conducting comprehensive training sessions and awareness campaigns on Google Chrome OS and its surrounding ecosystem.
  • Phase 2 – Through meticulous collection and selection, we breathe new life into laptops, enhancing their capabilities with the efficiency of Chrome OS.
  • Phase 3 – Introducing our cutting-edge rental services, offering access to high-end laptops at a cost-effective rate, eliminating the financial strain of ownership. Additionally, we commit to sustaining a circular economy for the device throughout its entire lifecycle, ensuring responsible recycling at the end of its journey.

Why do you offer rentals instead of selling laptops?

Offering rentals allows us to maximize the use of each laptop, reducing the overall demand for new devices and minimizing electronic waste. It also provides cost-effective access to technology for schools, families, and individuals.

What is ChromeOS and why is it important for Reuse Revamp?

ChromeOS is a lightweight, secure, and user-friendly operating system developed by Google, ideal for educational purposes. It works efficiently on a wide range of laptops, including older models. This technology choice allows us to extend the lifespan of computers, maximizing their utility and sustainability.
