In an attempt to reduce e-waste from the willy-nilly disposal of our tech gadgets, local tech group, PC Dreams, has opened myhalo CircularXchange, at Bugis Junction.
myhalo is available both as an online platform and as a physical store for consumers and businesses to upcycle, trade-in, repair, recycle, and purchase refurbished devices, or donate old equipment while ensuring that all their data and sensitive information is securely deleted in the process.
Inspired by European countries where citizens are given subsidies for repairs to extend the life of their digital devices and thus reducing e-waste, myhalo has rolled out a campaign that encourages consumers to declutter and donate their old or unused digital and mobile devices, including routers, modems, power banks, and even thumb drives, in exchange for an immediate S$30 discount, when consumers start their zero e-waste lifestyle with them though the purchase of refurbished, pre-loved mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, or to offset any repair costs on devices, at myhalo CircularXchange.
Consumers can get a quote instantly for their old devices simply by answering some simple questions. Depending on the age and condition of the device it will be either refurbished for sale or securely disposed of. The devices donated will be either recycled conscientiously if they are deemed functionally obsolete or irreparable, or given to the needy after proper data erasure and refurbishment. The goal of myhalo is to help the earth by ensuring that our tech devices serve out a long and useful lifespan.
