At Blackbelt 360, we are proud to partner with some of the most forward thinking organisations in the circular technology space and few demonstrate purpose driven innovation quite like Relove Technology, a valued collaboration spanning over ten years.
Relove Technology is on a bold mission to “relove” all used technology and eliminate electronic waste from our planet. Their ambition is nothing short of transformative, redefining how the world reuses and recycles redundant and disused mobile devices and accessories.
Guided by a clear purpose, Relove is changing behaviours around technology consumption. They champion ethical recovery and responsible reuse, creating sustainable solutions that return value to society, protect the planet, and power the circular economy for generations to come.
The Challenge
Relove operates in a fast moving and highly diverse market. Each day, they receive a wide range of products from smartphones, tablets, and accessories from multiple partners with differing requirements:
- Industry clients seeking auditable, compliant solutions, to recover value from used, returned or trade-in stock
- Corporate organisations requiring trusted, certified and compliant data wiping solutions in line with their data security policies.
- Charities and social enterprises looking to create value from donated technology from their supporters to raise funds for their cause.
This product mix brings both opportunity and complexity. Receipted devices can span many generations and come in various conditions, each requiring secure handling, accurate testing, and verifiable data erasure.
To maintain their high standards and keep pace with growing demand, Relove needed a data wiping / diagnostics technology partner that could:
- Process large volumes of mixed devices quickly and consistently
- Guarantee certified data erasure across all product types
- Provide full audit trails to assure clients of compliance and transparency
In short, they needed a solution that combined speed, reliability, and trust, the foundations of their circular mission.
The Solution
After assessing multiple platforms, Relove Technology selected Blackbelt360 for its combination of automation, compliance, and shared sustainability focus.
Blackbelt360 enabled Relove to automate diagnostics and grading while securely wiping multiple devices at once. The platform’s reporting and certification functions resulted in full visibility across every stage of the device lifecycle.
With these capabilities, Relove could process hundreds of devices per day with confidence that each one met the highest standards of security and quality.
This integration also aligned perfectly with their environmental goals. By optimising reuse cycles and reducing reliance on manual processes, the company strengthened its position as a leader in the circular technology economy.
