Milestones through the years

Tap a year to relive the breakthroughs that shaped Envirofone from our Macclesfield roots to today’s relaunch.

June 20022002

Eazyfone is founded in Macclesfield

Envirofone begins life when entrepreneurs open Eazyfone, one of the UK's first dedicated mobile phone trade-in specialists based in Macclesfield.

  • The team sets out a clear mission to extend the life of mobile devices and keep valuable materials in circulation.
  • An in-house technical crew is assembled to test, data wipe and refurbish handsets before they are given a second life.

The pillars behind our progress

Every milestone is powered by dedicated engineers, circular partnerships and a customer-first culture. These are the values that continue to guide Envirofone today.

Trusted testing

Every device is inspected by expert engineers using multi-point diagnostics, secure data wiping and meticulous cosmetic grading.

Circular by design

Envirofone keeps technology in use for longer, supporting customers, businesses and charities with transparent reuse programmes.

People-first service

From our UK support team to same-day payments, the Envirofone experience has always focused on making trade-ins joyful and stress-free.

Our impact in numbers

From day one, Envirofone has championed reuse over waste. These quick stats highlight how far the mission has come—and how much more we plan to do.
