For every SHIFT6mq or SHIFTphone 8 sold, an old device is recycled
SHIFT is a German social business that produces highly sustainable smart phones and datable notebooks. It aims to do as much good and as little damage as possible.
Closing the Loop was asked to collect electronic waste on behalf of new SHIFT phones sold. This collaborative effort created additional appeal to SHIFT products and delivered on the growing global demand for electronic waste reduction.

The Solution
By linking the sale of a new SHIFTPHONE to the collection of an end-of-life phone. Closing the Loop’s approach hereby adds to SHIFT’s many steps towards creating fair, modular and sustainable devices. Closing the Loop’s services effectively makes the SHIFT device ‘waste-neutral’. Combined with SHIFT’s other actions (including a device refund scheme), the overall impact could even be seen as ‘waste-positive’.
