Breezy wins three Circular Tech Awards 2026 

Breezy, a part od ASBIS Group, has won three categories at The Circular Tech Awards 2026: Best Refurbisher (Smartphones), Best Trade-In Programme (Mobile Network) and Best Use of AI. The company also took second place in Online Retailer (Smartphones). 

Overall, Breezy was shortlisted in seven categories this year, covering trade-in, refurbishment, AI, online retail and its new trading platform: 

• 🏆 Best Refurbisher (Smartphones) 
• 🏆 Best Trade-In Programme (Mobile Network) 
• 🏆 Best Use of AI 
• 🥈 Online Retailer (Smartphones) 
• Trade-In Programme (Retail) 
• Trade-In Programme (B2B) 
• Best Trading Platform for Used & Refurbished Devices 

The result follows Breezy’s Marketing Campaign of the Year win at The Circular Tech Awards 2025. 

Innovation that works 

Breezy has consistently been an early adopter — and often a trendsetter — in circular technology. 

The company was among the first in the industry to launch an Industry 5.0-format refurbishment line, introduce fully door-to-door online trade-in with an instant discount, deploy Apple Diagnostics Trio across iPhone, MacBook and iPad, and bring AI into trade-in evaluation, long before AI became standard industry practice. 

But innovation has never been the goal in itself. Every new technology has to solve a real problem: make evaluation more accurate, the customer journey easier, refurbishment more consistent and the overall service more reliable for Breezy’s partners and their customers. 

Not every innovation becomes a successful product. For us, the real test is whether technology improves the experience, quality and economics of the service. These awards — especially across such different categories — are valuable confirmation from the industry that the innovations we introduce are delivering real results.

Built with partners, for real-world needs 

That approach also means developing solutions in close cooperation with Breezy’s partners. Their feedback and operational experience help the company turn new technologies into services that work in real retail and telecom environments. 

This year’s Best Trade-In Programme (Mobile Network) award is a strong example: the winning programme was developed together with Orange Polska. 

We don’t develop technology in isolation. We combine the expertise of our in-house product and development teams with what we learn every day from our partners and their customers. That is how innovation becomes a better trade-in experience — and why the award we share with Orange Polska is particularly meaningful.

Being shortlisted in seven categories and winning three is especially significant given the strength of this year’s competition. Breezy competed alongside established international companies with deep expertise in the circular technology market, with the winners selected by an international jury of industry experts. 

The recognition belongs to the people behind these solutions — Breezy’s dedicated team and the partners who have helped shape and improve them over the years. 

Breezy thanks The Circular Tech Awards organizers and judges for the recognition and congratulates all this year’s winners and shortlisted companies. 

Innovation matters when it works. These three awards tell us we’re on the right track.
