In 2025, we diverted more than 22,000 phones from the landfill, and prevented more than 1,850 tonnes of C02 emission.
According to Apple, a single smartphone produces a whopping 84kg of CO2. Can you believe it? Last year, we breathed new life into over 20,000 phones, which means we prevented 1,848,000 KG of CO2 emissions from clouding up our atmosphere. That's the equivalent of 431 gasoline powered cars driving for a year.

At Orchard, we believe tech deserves a second life. But for years, repair restrictions— like digital locks — have made it harder to fix and reuse devices, leading to more waste.
The Right to Repair movement fights for consumers and independent technicians to have the ability to repair and maintain their own products and Canada actually just passed laws to make this process easier!
This is exactly why we do what we do. By refurbishing iPhones, we help keep quality tech in use and out of landfills—because repairs should be easier, not harder. 💚
We recently held our first ever e-waste drive! Thank you for bringing us your old tech. From a sewing machine and tons of cables to a 20+ year-old iMac, you really cleared out the tech archives and helped us keep e-waste out of the landfill.
Stay tuned for our next e-waste drive!
