International trade-in provider Breezy has partnered with Digital Generation (DG), an authorized Apple B2B Partner and one of South Africa\u2019s most influential ICT providers, to launch the country\u2019s first fully door-to-door AI-powered online B2B trade-in service. Now, not only individuals but also businesses can easily exchange their old devices for value when purchasing new Apple equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How online B2B trade-in <\/strong>works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This new service makes the process of upgrading corporate devices as simple and convenient as for individual customers<\/strong>. It consists of four steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Device assessment:<\/strong> Enter the IMEI of the device and upload 5 photos from different angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instant valuation:<\/strong> Breezy\u2019s AI conducts a precise diagnostic and provides an offer within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic discount:<\/strong> The trade-in value is immediately applied during the purchase in DG\u2019s Apple online shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Door-to-door exchange:<\/strong> New devices are delivered, and old ones are collected seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fully digital, AI-powered process is not just a convenience but also a strategic tool for companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millions of corporate devices sit unused in warehouses, losing residual value and at risk of ending up in landfills. Instead, they can be transformed into a valuable asset \u2014 benefiting company budgets, employee productivity, and the planet. Launching B2B trade-in in South Africa is a testament to our belief in the development of this segment, and we will continue to expand it across all markets where we operate.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

Environmental impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Devices received through the trade-in program are carefully inspected and restored at Breezy\u2019s facilities before returning to the market. Those beyond repair are safely recycled. This reduces electronic waste, CO\u2082 emissions, water pollution, and the depletion of rare earth elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing just one smartphone<\/strong> generates 79 kg of CO\u2082 equivalent<\/strong>, consumes 900 liters of water<\/strong>, requires 137 kg of raw materials<\/strong>, and produces 87 kg of industrial waste<\/strong>. By extending the lifecycle of devices, Breezy and DG help companies not only optimize their budgets but also contribute to a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
