reguse – use electrical appliances longer
This is reguse
reguse is made up of the IT trainees, who recycle the technology, and the commercial trainees, who take care of sales, accounting and legal issues, marketing and presentation. The core idea of the project is to reduce the amount of electronic waste produced by igus. Devices such as notebooks, computers, TVs and much more are recycled using a data protection-compliant process.
The used end devices are refurbished and thus saved from being scrapped as electronic waste. Functioning parts are even removed from defective devices and recycled, so that a new, functioning device is created from several old devices.
Favourable technical equipment for igus employees
reguse offers all igus employees from Cologne the opportunity to purchase refurbished technical equipment at a favourable price. However, the proceeds from these sales do not go to reguse, but are donated to sustainable projects.
Donations of refurbished devices
The refurbished devices are not only sold internally by igus, but are also donated to people and organisations in need. The coronavirus pandemic has led to a high demand for end devices, most of which were used by schoolchildren. reguse has already donated 10 laptops to a school and equipped a total of 10 students with technology - even before the official start of the department. A donation of 60 PCs and 60 monitors went to a school in Idar-Oberstein in June 2022 to support digitalisation. In the summer of 2023, reguse was able to supply a holiday camp for socially disadvantaged children with new devices and accessories, helping to promote their technology and media skills.
