Refurbishment Process

Esource+ (formerly electronics cafe) is a subsidiary of EWASTE+, one of the largest private IT asset disposition and electronic recycling companies in New York State. We provide recycling and data destruction services to over 10,000 customers and hold a range of environmental and data destruction certifications. Our R2v3 certification ensures that 0% of the devices that come into our facility end up in a landfill.

Only the top 5% of devices that enter our facility are selected for refurbishment. These devices have been decommissioned from a working environment and undergo a series of tests utilizing our state of the art testing software. Each key function MUST be documented and recorded in our system as well as any cosmetic defects that are observed by our certified technicians. If at any point, a device fails a test, it is demanufactured and recycled per our R2v3 certification. We ONLY resell devices that we would use ourselves.

Esource+ is also an authorized Third Party partner of Microsoft. Please see below for a description:

Microsoft offers a number of programs supporting sustainability, a low-carbon future and elimination of ewaste worldwide. One of the best ways to help the planet is through refurbishing the millions of laptops and PC's that already exist in the ecosystem. A refurbished PC is of great value when you purchase from a Authorized Refurbisher.

The program allows refurbishers (like Esource+) to provide genuine Microsoft software on refurbished PC's. Using genuine Microsoft software offers greater capabilities and easy integration with the widest variety of hardware, software and services. This allows users to take advantage of the most current operating system capabilities despite having devices that are reused.

Membership in this program, as a 3rd party refurbisher, makes Esource+ an officially recognized Microsoft supplier. Our customers can feel confident that they are receiving the latest features, updates and ongoing improvements to keep their refurbished PC performing at its best.
