ReNew Lifecycle aims to revolutionize the management and refurbishment of electronic devices. By developing an Intelligent Device Fleet Management platform, it seeks to streamline processes from procurement to maintenance, ensuring devices have extended lifespans and reduced environmental impact. In doing so, it addresses the rapid accumulation of electronic waste and promotes sustainable practices in the tech industry
Much of electronic waste can be attributed to short device lifecycles and inefficient management. ReNew Lifecycle contributes to the circular transition by implementing strategies that extend device usability, promote refurbishment, and reduce the need for new device production, thereby minimizing waste and conserving resources.
CircularInvest has been instrumental in advancing the project by providing strategic guidance and resources essential for attracting investment. Its support enabled ReNew Lifecycle to refine its business model, enhance its value proposition, and effectively communicate its impact to potential investors. CircularInvest also helped them to integrate into a network of like-minded innovators, fostering collaboration and shared growth.
CircularInvest proactive support has also given ReNew Lifecycle the opportunity to think about the next steps. The organisation aims to set a benchmark in the electronics industry for sustainable device management, encouraging widespread adoption of circular practices. Locally, it strives to reduce electronic waste, foster green job creation, and raise awareness about the benefits of a circular economy.
From a business perspective, ReNew Lifecycle is looking to scale up to accommodate a broader range of electronic devices and enter new markets, collaborate with corporations to integrate the system, promoting widespread adoption of sustainable device management practices, and focus on demonstrating clear environmental and economic impacts.
