Renew over replace
The greenest device is the one already made. We repair first, recycle last.
De Novo — Latin for "from new" — was built on a simple conviction: most devices that get thrown away still have years of life left in them. We exist to give them that life back, make great technology affordable, and cut carbon with every unit we renew.
The world makes well over a billion new phones a year, and the carbon cost of building them dwarfs the cost of running them. Meanwhile, perfectly repairable devices pile up in drawers, returns bins and landfills.
De Novo sits in the middle of that gap. We renew connected devices through electronic repair, certified data handling and quality grading — then put them back into the world at a price more people can reach. It's good for budgets, good for businesses, and genuinely good for the planet.
One device renewed is one device that didn't need to be made. That's the whole idea.
Up to ~80% of a phone's lifetime carbon is emitted in manufacturing — before it's ever switched on. Renewing skips almost all of it. That's the whole idea.
The greenest device is the one already made. We repair first, recycle last.
Documented grades, certified wipes and a record for every unit. No hand-waving.
The sustainable choice and the smart business choice are the same choice here.
Quality that holds from the first unit to the ten-thousandth. Volume is no excuse.
De Novo is run by a small, multidisciplinary team — repair engineers, quality and operations specialists, and commercial builders — who'd rather fix than throw away. No layers, no hand-offs: the people who set the standard are the people on the floor.
Board- and component-level repair skill — restoring devices, not just swapping parts.
Documented, auditable grades that mean the same thing on every single unit.
Throughput, traceability and turnaround built for industrial scale.
Verifiable erasure and full chain-of-custody — by default, not on request.
Four-region reach and the channel relationships to move renewed stock.
A circular model where the greener choice is simply the business.
Up to 80% of a smartphone's lifetime carbon footprint is created before it's ever turned on — in mining, manufacturing and shipping. Extend that phone's life by even a year or two and you avoid almost all of it. Refurbishment isn't a feel-good add-on to our business. It is the business — and the climate math is on its side.
