What We Do

Circularity is becoming an essential and dynamic part of the technology market. This means extending the lifecycle of devices and home tech products to reduce carbon emissions and tackle the growing problem of e-waste. Since we founded Alchemy in 2017, we’ve made it our mission to bring more circularity to the consumer tech and home electronics sector, giving individuals and businesses access to high-quality tech at lower prices. We refresh and remarket everything from phones and tablets to laptops and electronics. We’ve become the fastest-growing circular tech company in the world, with 3,000 partners across 60 countries. We refresh 2 million devices per year – and have processed more than 12 million devices, saving over 747m kg in CO2 to date. We’re setting new standards in sustainable innovation. As the first and only company certifying CO2 savings for refurbished tech, we ensure traceability for sustainability commitments and ESG goals. We run trade-in programs globally for manufacturers, carriers, retailers and businesses, delivering end-to-end solutions that help buyers make sustainable tech choices that are kinder to budgets. This has become an attractive option for companies with net zero targets and growing concerns over the sustainability of their tech. We sell through our platforms Loop and Callisto, making it easy for enterprise, consumers, wholesalers and resellers to find refurbished tech from top manufacturers at great prices. As a leader in the circular tech market, we won the 2024 Deloitte Fast 50 “Growing New Technology” award, in association with Google. We also ranked 32nd at the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards 2024 in Ireland, 254th at the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 2023 across EMEA. For the second year running, we were named in the Financial Times’ FT1000 list of Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies in 2025, ranking 5th overall by revenue. Follow us to see how we’re creating a sustainable future for tech through a circular economy.
