Flipswap is Green
Flipswap began as an effort to explore the “Reuse” aspect of the “Three Green R’s”, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. We understand the best way to keep used phones and other electronics out of landfills is to put them in the hands of people who can use them a second or third time around. It wasn’t long before we realized that we had covered the other “Rs” as well.

Reduce Flipswap reduces the number of new cell phones and other devices pushed into service by providing fully functional used alternatives to consumers across the globe. Beyond this, our warehouse is 100% green, where minimal waste is a primary focus.

Reuse Flipswap’s services put millions of electronic devices back into service that would otherwise be piling up in our landfills every year.

Recycle Flipswap is able to re-purpose nearly all of the millions of mobile phones and iPods that we receive each year. Unfortunately, some of those devices can not be reused and must be recycled. Flipswap has always insisted on the most eco-friendly methods from our recycling partners. Flipswap works closely with our recyclers to ensure that any device that has reached the end of its useful life will be recycled using the most responsible techniques available.

In cases where we recycle, we are extremely conscientious. All end of life devices we receive are sent to Sims Recycling Solutions. This internationally recognized recycler has facilities all over the world and meets ISO 14001 environmental management standards, ensuring that not an ounce of hazardous material ends up in our landfills.
