refurbed

We are an online marketplace for refurbished products in Europe, founded in 2017. We operate in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, specializing in retail, tech, and customer service. Our products, which include iPhones, Laptops, household appliances, and sports equipment, undergo a 40-step refurbishment process to make them like new. These products are more affordable and a more sustainable alternative to buying new items.

We provide customers with a minimum 12-month warranty, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and free shipping. Customers can save up to 70% compared to new prices, with an average reduction of 83% in CO2 emissions. Since our founding, we report having saved 116 billion liters of virtual water, planted over 6.6 million trees, saved 1,136 tons of e-waste, and saved 350,000 tons of CO2. Our commitment to sustainability includes supporting projects for recycling e-waste, CO2 removal from the atmosphere, and landscape restoration through reforestation.

Our mission is to create a better and more sustainable future for generations to come. We aim to make refurbished products the new normal, encouraging conscious purchasing as a way to protect the environment. We support environmental protection projects and advocate for a circular economy, giving products a second life.

Our team of 300 people is located across Europe. We operate remotely, emphasizing a high-accountability environment where we value ownership and proactive problem-solving. Our culture focuses on continuous learning and teamwork, with opportunities for employee development. We make data-driven decisions and emphasize experimentation and accountability. While primarily remote, we offer a dog-friendly office in Vienna and organize quarterly (or three times a year) office weeks for in-person collaboration and team building.

We offer a flexible, remote-first work setup. Employees get a learning budget for courses, conferences, and other development opportunities. We provide private sessions with experts for personal growth and mental health through Likeminded, as well as internal workshops to develop skills and improve cross-department collaboration. Employees can work from our dog-friendly Vienna office. We organize quarterly (or three times a year) office weeks for on-site team building and workshops. Employees can also work from anywhere for up to two months a year (‘workation’). Flexible work and trust-based self-organization are part of our work environment. Certain roles may involve occasional travel to locations like Vienna and Brussels.
