"Through our new buy-back program, people can easily turn in their unwanted devices for money back, in most cases. And we're able to provide competitive refund offers on most devices, as we'll be able to give new life these devices through our CPO program."
The buy-back program is available in the U.S. and able to recycle mobile phones, Mac computers, iPads, Apple displays, Apple watches, and other personal electronic devices and accessories. In upcoming months, the offering will expand to other countries too. plug is one of the first major retailers of renewed technology to offer a buy-back program.

Once received, the customer's buy-back refund will be processed within 24-48 hours via PayPal, Venmo, or plug store credit.
Reducing e-waste is at the heart of plug's mission. The company is 'Responsible Recycling' or 'R2' certified, and has helped, along with its sister company Comm Depot, to prevent over one million working devices from reaching landfills since 2009. plug is looking to double that number by 2025.
"We looked at several different partners to help us seamlessly provide a buy-back program for our customers, and we were thrilled to find a company with our same, exceptionally-high dedication to quality and customer experience here in St. Louis," said Alyatim. "Working with Buyback.ai, we're able to offer a buy-back program that takes just a few minutes to complete, accepting all technology, regardless of its condition, for either upcycling or responsible recycling."
