It began by making it easier for consumers to reuse their used appliances. All they have to do is enter some basic information about their device on the CircleIT website. They then receive a shipping code, which they take with them to a FedEx store. For a flat fee of $12, FedEx ships the device to CircleIT&#8217;s processing center, where the data is securely erased. CircleIT then reconverts the device, giving it a second life in one of many possible contexts. For example, many of CircleIT&#8217;s used laptops are refurbished and donated to students who can&#8217;t afford to buy a computer. Meanwhile, consumers can see exactly how their appliances are being reused. Within 30 days of receiving the device, CircleIT issues an electronic impact report detailing what has become of it and how much waste has been avoided thanks to its reuse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-normal-button tatsu-button-wrap align-block block-center  tatsu-H1-r1sLS9   \"><a class=\"tatsu-shortcode mediumbtn tatsu-button left-icon circular   bg-animation-none  \" href=\"https:\/\/grist.org\/sponsored\/a-circular-economy-for-smartphones-and-laptops-electronics-circle-it\/\" style=\"\" aria-label=\"Grist (EN)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grist (EN)<\/a><style>.tatsu-H1-r1sLS9 .tatsu-button{background-color: rgba(232,219,208,1);color: rgba(127,128,133,1) ;border-width: 1px;border-color: rgba(127,128,133,1); }<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-column-overlay tatsu-animate-none\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJvp65LSc.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-HJvp65LSc.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}.tatsu-HJvp65LSc > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJvp65LSc > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJvp65LSc > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-HJvp65LSc > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJvp65LSc.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJvp65LSc.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-HJvp65LSc.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-overlay tatsu-section-overlay\"><\/div><style>.tatsu-S1ZP6acUHc .tatsu-section-offset-wrap{transform: translateY(-0px);}.tatsu-S1ZP6acUHc > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-S1ZP6acUHc > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-S1ZP6acUHc .tatsu-section-overlay{mix-blend-mode: normal;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The environmental and human impacts of electronic devices don&#8217;t stop when they reach consumers.
