Commitment is at the core of Recommerce's activity
Since its creation, Recommerce Group has been committed to a responsible, societal, and environmental approach.
Environmental commitment
Recommerce, pioneer of the circular economy
Recommerce's mission is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize its environmental footprint by extending the lifespan of devices.
By buying back the majority of its products on the French and European market directly from European consumers, Recommerce not only gives them back purchasing power, but also strengthens European sovereignty by maintaining and creating local jobs
These locally collected equipments within the European Union ensure compliance with European standards and regulations.
Environmental commitment
Supporting decarbonization
Recommerce implements an action plan to reduce its carbon footprint (eco-design, transportation, actions...)

Total of our carbon footprint

A virtuous and committed company
Our responsible and solidarity collection programs
Since its inception, Recommerce has been fully committed to promoting a more responsible and supportive society through the MonExTel program, which collects all types of used mobile phones. The value of the collected products is donated to associations and NGOs (sustainable development, social rights...).
The REBOX program launched in 2023 provides collection boxes in stores or public spaces and offers a solution for reusing or recycling phones.
MonExTel in numbers
163K € distributed
58K collected devices
More than 200 partner associations
Supporting causes that are close to our hearts
Throughout the year, we also support organizations (such as the GoodPlanet Foundation, Surfrider Europe, or PikPik Environment) through the sale of refurbished products and donate 1€ for each order placed on recommerce.com
27k € raised for associations with recommerce.com
Committed partnerships
Eventually, we are committed to promoting local jobs creation in our territories, especially among people in social conditions. We thus call upon adapted companies (EA) or those from the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) for our refurbishment value chain (testing, logistics, repairs) or ELISE for waste management in our permises.
Empowering consumer's purchasing power
Recommerce buys back used products at a fair price through buyback programs, enabling consumers to gain purchasing power.
