Green Machine will wipe all of the private data from your device before they start to repair and refurbish the items. Most of the time, these devices just need to be upgraded so that they can handle all of the modern applications that we use.
The two main objectives of the Tech Hub are a) to help people from disadvantaged backgrounds get the same skills and opportunities as everyone else, and b) to stop hazardous materials from entering landfill (where they can wreak havoc on our environment). Each laptop which is restored by Green Machine prevents someone from buying something brand new. As well as costing more, creating a new machine will use lots of precious resources (such as gold, palladium, lithium etc), plus this process produces an average of 150kgs of Co2 among other harmful emissions.
