Our history

Doing refurbished properly since 2012

Green Gadgets began in Australia back in 2012 with a simple idea: do refurbished technology properly. More than fourteen years later, we’ve grown from a small operation into one of the most trusted names for premium refurbished iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and Samsung Galaxy devices, shipping millions of them to customers right across the country.

Operating from Sydney, we’ve always believed refurbished should never feel like a compromise. Every device we sell carries that standard, and it’s a reputation we’ve spent well over a decade building, one carefully restored device at a time.

The problem we’re solving

Better for the planet, and for your pocket

The world throws away staggering amounts of electronic waste every year, and much of it isn’t broken at all. It’s perfectly good technology retired early, simply because a newer model arrived. At the same time, brand-new devices keep getting more expensive, putting the latest tech further out of reach for everyday people.

Green Gadgets was built to solve both at once. By giving premium devices a second life through professional refurbishment, we keep working technology out of landfill and put it back into people’s hands at a fraction of the new price. It means more Australians can own quality tech they can rely on while making a genuinely greener choice. We’ve built our whole business around proving those two things go together.

Sustainability

Circular by design, not by slogan

Sustainability isn’t a marketing line bolted onto our brand. It’s the reason the company exists. Manufacturing a single new smartphone generates roughly 70 kg of CO₂ and consumes scarce raw materials mined from around the world. Every device we refurbish and re-home avoids almost all of that footprint entirely.

A large share of the devices we sell come from local trade-ins, keeping technology in circulation rather than heading to landfill. It’s a genuine circular economy in action: one device given a second life, thousands of times over, adds up to a real impact. Choosing refurbished is one of the simplest, most effective everyday choices you can make for the planet.

Choosing one refurbished smartphone over new saves roughly 70 kg of CO₂. Multiply that across every device we sell, and the impact is significant.

How we do it

Rigorously tested. Genuinely restored.

Behind every Green Gadgets device is a rigorous full diagnostic check. We check every function: screen, battery, cameras, speakers, buttons, charging port and connectivity. Only devices that pass every stage earn our approval. If it doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t ship. It’s that straightforward.

Every device is professionally cleaned, securely data-wiped, and battery-checked to a minimum of 80% health. All our devices are fully unlocked and compatible with every major Australian carrier, so they’re ready to use the moment they arrive. And because grades describe the cosmetic look only, never how a device works, you always know exactly what you’re getting.
