Clarity comes first.
Model, storage, compatibility, and condition all matter. Our goal is to make the details easier to understand before you buy.
MEET RESOURCE TECH
A fresh start.
For great technology.
We believe choosing pre-owned should feel like a smart step forward. Resource Tech connects you with devices and accessories for the way you live, work, and stay connected.
EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE BRAND
Built on a history
of giving tech
a fresh start.
New name. Deep experience.
Resource Tech brings a fresh perspective to pre-owned technology, backed by our team’s extensive experience returning pre-owned devices to use across our broader device business.
That history shapes our focus: useful technology, clear product information, and helping you choose the right device for your everyday life.
Our experience spans our broader device business; Resource Tech brings that perspective to everyday shopping.More life in great tech.
Pre-owned devices can have more to give. Keeping useful technology in circulation is at the heart of why we do this.
Confidence built in.
Our pre-owned devices receive a 30+ point inspection. Your purchase is backed by a 1-year defect warranty, excluding customer damage.
MORE LIFE. LESS IMPACT.
Good tech deserves a longer story.
A device can have more to give. Choosing pre-owned helps keep useful technology in circulation and can reduce demand for newly manufactured devices.
ILLUSTRATIVE REUSE-IMPACT ESTIMATES
metric tonnes of CO₂e
Potential lifecycle emissions avoided under a published smartphone-reuse scenario.
US gallons of modeled water use
Potential supply-chain water-use reduction under the same benchmark scenario.
Illustrative estimates based on our broader business’s historical reuse volume and a published iPhone 11 benchmark. These are not measured company savings. The scenario assumes each reused device replaces an equivalent new-device lifecycle; actual outcomes may differ substantially.
How these estimates are calculated
The 2023 Fraunhofer Austria / refurbed study, sections 11.1.1–11.1.2, compares a new iPhone 11 with a refurbished one. It reports 72 versus 15.7 kg of lifecycle carbon emissions, and 12,075 versus 1,695 liters of modeled water use. The differences are 56.3 kg and 10,380 liters per device in that scenario. We applied those factors to our company-reported historical reuse volume, converted liters to US gallons using 3.785411784 liters per gallon, and rounded the totals.
This is a benchmark extrapolation, not a device-by-device assessment of our operations. It treats the historical volume as iPhone 11-equivalent reuses and assumes equivalent new production is displaced. Actual device mix, replacement rates, repairs, transport, and additional useful life have not been incorporated. The figures refer to our broader business history, not solely Resource Tech sales. Water refers to the study’s modeled supply-chain use, not water metered at our facilities or water physically recovered. These estimates should not be interpreted as verified savings.
Make more of what exists.
Keeping a working device in use extends the value of the materials and manufacturing already invested in it.
The right tech. For longer.
Choose a device that fits your needs and care for it. Reuse can reduce impact when it replaces a new purchase.
Small habits. Longer life.
Protect your device, maintain it, and consider repair when practical. When it can no longer be used, choose a responsible electronics recycling option.
