Since our inception, CompAsia has championed the belief that technology can be both powerful and sustainable. Today, we’re proud to announce a major milestone: over 3 million device transactions since 2019. This achievement is more than just a number — it’s a testament to our commitment to circular technology, environmental responsibility, and creating a cleaner, greener future.
Why 3 Million Devices Matter
Every time a customer chooses a refurbished smartphone, laptop, or tablet from CompAsia, they make a conscious decision to reduce electronic waste and extend the lifespan of valuable technology. Here’s what that impact looks like in measurable, real-world terms:
♻️ 3 Million Devices Saved from Landfills
By giving devices a second life, we’ve helped prevent millions of gadgets from ending up in landfills. Electronic waste (or e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing environmental threats globally — and device reuse is one of the most effective ways to combat it.
📦 450 to 600 Metric Tonnes of E-Waste Diverted
When consumers buy second-hand devices from CompAsia Philippines, fewer new products are manufactured and end up in landfills. Our circular model has already diverted hundreds of tonnes of hazardous e-waste from polluting our soil, air, and waterways.
⚠️ Lower levels of toxic substances
By avoiding the disposal of millions of devices, we’ve also minimized the release of harmful substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium into our ecosystem — substances that are commonly found in discarded electronics and can leach into water supplies and agricultural land.
🌿 Up to 270,000 Metric Tonnes of CO₂ Emissions Prevented
Refurbishing and reusing devices significantly lowers carbon emissions. Our 3 million transactions have helped prevent up to 270,000 metric tonnes of CO₂ from entering the atmosphere — the same impact as taking 58,000 cars off the road for a year.
⚡ 1.5 Billion kWh of Energy Saved
Manufacturing new electronic devices requires enormous amounts of energy. By reintroducing existing devices into the market, CompAsia has helped save approximately 1.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy — enough to power 140,000 homes for an entire year.
⛏️ 102 kg of Gold and 1,020 kg of Silver Mining Avoided
Modern electronics rely on precious metals like gold and silver, which are extracted through energy-intensive and environmentally damaging mining practices. Through circular technology, we’ve helped reduce the demand for mining, preserving these resources and protecting natural ecosystems.
Our Vision: A Greener Future Powered by Smarter Choices
At CompAsia Philippines, we don’t just sell, we give second-hand devices a second life — we enable smarter, more sustainable technology choices. Our journey to 3 million transactions reflects the growing awareness and demand for environmentally responsible tech consumption.
