While caring for our planet should always be front of mind, we’re paying special attention to the beautiful place we call home this week. Why? Monday, April 18, marked the beginning of Earth Week — a global celebration focused on green living and confronting the climate crisis. Therefore, in the name of making small strides towards a more ecological world, Amazon has decided to slice up to 20% off its ‘Renewed’ range.

What is Amazon Renewed?

Now, we know Amazon doesn’t have the greatest track record when it comes to being environmentally friendly, but its ‘Renewed’ range is no doubt a great initiative that allows buyers to purchase refurbished, rebuilt and previously owned items, elongating their lifecycles and ultimately saving them from ending up in landfill.

This includes a bunch of pre-loved smartphones, tablets, laptops, monitors and even homewares — many of which were only ever display models in their past. What’s better? You can bag them for killer discounted prices.

So how does it work? The device is inspected by contractors and refurbished to ensure they’re fit for resale. Amazon itself assures that all products in the Amazon Renewed range have been “tested and certified to work and look like new by a qualified technician or a specialised third-party refurbisher.” In layman’s terms, they’re fit for immediate use as soon as they reach your door.

Rest assured, though, the products still come with a 180-day guarantee (or more), so if you’re still not convinced (or your device does happen to stop working or malfunctions), you’re entitled to a replacement or refund within 180 days of your receipt of the product. A hot tip is to ensure your product page says “backed by the 180-day Amazon Renewed Guarantee” for optimal protection.

Now that we’ve covered all basics let’s get into the juicy stuff: what’s actually on offer?

There are also dozens of discounts on some of Apple and Samsung’s older models if you’re not too fussed about keeping up with the latest and greatest.
