“We were delighted to meet MobileAdvantage at the Employee Benefits Show as we wanted to ensure our employee benefits reflected our corporate role to promote sustainability and protect the environment. After all who’s not got at least one unwanted device sat idle in a draw at home.”

MobileAdvantage
MobileAdvantage is an employee benefit designed to support your organisation’s environmental & CSR objectives. The platform enables employees to buy, sell, or repair tech devices - promoting sustainability while also aiding financial wellbeing.

A Sustainable Benefit that Supports ESG, CSR & Employee Wellbeing
MobileAdvantage is an employee benefit designed to support your organisation’s environmental, CSR, and financial wellbeing goals. The platform enables employees to buy, sell, or repair tech devices in a way that’s affordable, sustainable, and secure – delivering meaningful value to both employees and your business.
Why it matters
- We have a significant issue with e-waste in the UK.
- The average new smartphone generates up to 61kg of CO₂ – 80% of which occurs during production.
- Devices contain 30+ rare elements, including gold, copper, and aluminium.
- Refurbished tech and the circular economy help reduce e-waste, mining, and overproduction.
- It’s a win for employee wallets and a win for your sustainability strategy.
Save. Trade. Repair
Employees can:
- Save >60% on refurbished devices.
- Get instant quotes and cash back by trading in old tech

Employers benefit from an online dashboard that aggregates the environmental impact for internal stakeholder reporting.
Flexible, responsible payment options
Employees can choose to:
- Pay upfront
