ecoATM Expands into Canada, Bringing Sustainable Technology to Walmart Stores
In a move that marks an exciting step forward for ecoATM, the global leader in electronics recycling and sustainable technology solutions, the company is expanding its operations into the Canadian market.
As part of this expansion, 13 ecoATM kiosks will be installed within select Walmart stores in Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, and Burlington. This move not only broadens ecoATM's reach but also provides communities across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) with an easy and convenient way to find my device and contribute to a more sustainable future, one device at a time.
The introduction of ecoATM in Canada represents a technology-friendly approach to getting rewarded while contributing to a more circular economy. According to Matt Furlong, ecoATM's chief executive officer, the company is committed to driving the re-commerce revolution and making sustainability easier for people.
The ecoATM kiosks are designed to simplify the process of recycling unwanted devices for financial benefit. Users can pass a security check, receive a proposed quote for their device, and if they accept, receive instant cashback. Each kiosk is equipped with cameras for added security and has been verified for stolen phones through a partnership with law enforcement.
ecoATM's mission is to empower consumers to give their old devices a second life while benefiting financially. By refurbishing used electronics and keeping them out of landfills, ecoATM creates a model that works for both people and the planet. This approach has already proven successful in the United States, where ecoATM has collected over 50 million devices through its 6,500 kiosks.
The initial setup in Canada will be solely for cell phones, but ecoATM aims to expand its offerings in the future. This collection has diverted more than 25 million pounds of e-waste from landfills, according to a recent news release by ecoATM.
ecoATM's expansion into Canada is accelerating its mission to nurture a more eco-friendly environment. The company has partnered with Walmart to enable Ontario residents to find my device and receive cashback. By making the process of turning in old phones for instant cash hassle-free, ecoATM is financially incentivizing phone recycling for those upgrading from older devices.
As the global generation of e-waste reaches 50 million metric tons every year, ecoATM's expansion into Canada is a significant step towards addressing this growing issue. By providing a convenient and financially rewarding solution for recycling electronics, ecoATM is making sustainability accessible to more people than ever before.
