Simpatico Network, a trailblazer in Italy’s refurbished electronics industry since its establishment in Milan in 2000, has become the latest member of EUREFAS. This partnership marks a significant step in strengthening EUREFAS’s mission to advance high standards and sustainability within Europe’s refurbishment sector.

With Simpatico Network’s extensive experience, EUREFAS further consolidates its ability to advocate effectively for a fair and competitive landscape for European refurbishers. The collaboration aims to promote greater product repairability, ensuring that both consumers and independent repairers have the right to repair, and to support reuse initiatives over recycling wherever possible. Moreover, the partnership highlights the importance of efficient collection systems to increase the availability of devices for refurbishment across Europe.

The addition of Simpatico Network to EUREFAS’s ranks is a welcome development, reinforcing the collective effort to shape a more sustainable technological future. Together, the organisations are well placed to lead positive change and champion responsible practices in Europe’s growing refurbished electronics market.
