In this case, an emerging category that is flooding in the European market is the refurbishment products industry.

Falling in between a brand new and second hand, these products are as good as new with seller’s warranty.

Since technology is unfolding at a rapid phase, the gadgets get outdated with the blink of an eye. In some cases, this has driven the millennials to opt for refurbished products at half the price instead of shelling out money. Before getting into the list of startups, let’s understand what Refurbished products mean.

Some of them have a misconception that all refurbished products are used or secondhand goods. According to the Internet definition, “Refurbishment is the distribution of products (usually electronics) that have been previously returned to a manufacturer or vendor for various reasons. Refurbished products are normally tested for functionality and defects before they are sold.”

Having said that, we have listed out 6 tech startups in Europe with the help of Dealroom that promise to help you pick refurbished gadgets (electronics )that have undergone a quality check.

Funding: €48M

Founders: Quentin Le Brouster, Thibaud Hug de Larauze, Vianney Vaute

Back Market makes it easier for consumers to find and buy professionally-refurbished personal technology products and appliances at up to 70% off their original prices. With this platform, the company aims to provide consumers with an economical and ecological alternative to buying new products through recycling second hand electronics.
