Did you know that our devices account for most of the environmental impact of digital technology? Not only does the manufacture of our terminals emit greenhouse gases, it also requires significant mineral and water resources. It is estimated, for example, that within 50 years, certain metals essential to the manufacture of our smartphones, screens, etc. will have run out.
In case of a breakdown, it is better to have your device repaired than to buy a new one:
If the device is less than 2 years old and has broken down, you can:
Activate the legal guarantee of conformity with the vendor.
If the device is no longer under warranty or the damage cannot be covered, you can:
Have your device repaired by a repair shop, giving preference to Quali Répar certified repair shops in order to have the benefit of the réparation 4 bonus.
Repair your device yourself thanks to the many online tutorials or by taking part in a repair workshop.
If your device is not repairable, don’t forget to recycle it! And in case of purchase of a new device, avoid buying it new: give preference to second-hand or reconditioned devices instead.
80%
of greenhouse gas emissions from the digital sector come from the
manufacture of our devices (telephones, tablets, TVs, computers, etc.).
