Circular economy

Device return and recycling program

When a PoligIoT device is no longer useful to you, send it back to us. If it still works, it gets a second life in field trials, research or donations; if not, we send it for recycling. And you get 5% off the new device that replaces it.

5% off
on each new device that replaces a returned one

Electronic devices should not end up in the trash

Our sensors and modules contain batteries, circuit boards and metals that must not be mixed with regular waste. That is why the devices we sell come back to us at the end of their use and follow a controlled path: first we try to extend their life and, when that is no longer possible, their components are separated for recycling.

A discount on your upgrade

5% off the price of each new device that replaces a returned one.

Your data, protected

No device is reused or recycled before it is removed from the platform and its settings are erased.

Less electronic waste

What still works gets a second life, and batteries and boards stay out of regular waste.

When to return a device

Any of these reasons is valid, whether the device works or not.

End of its useful life

It no longer works reliably or its battery no longer lasts as it used to.

You upgraded to a newer version

You moved to an updated model and the previous one is no longer in use.

Damaged beyond repair

Impacts, water or power surges left it out of service.

The project ended

Sensors or modules left in storage after an installation closed.

How it works

  1. 1

    Request the return

    Fill in the form with the models, the number of devices and the reason for the return.

  2. 2

    We arrange the shipment

    We tell you how to send the devices safely, especially those with lithium batteries.

  3. 3

    Removal and data erasure

    We remove each device from the platform, turn off its connectivity and erase its settings.

  4. 4

    Reuse, recycling and your discount

    What still works is refurbished for our programs, the rest is separated for recycling, and we send you your 5% discount.

What happens to your devices

First, a second life

We check every device and refurbish those that work. We do not resell them: they go to field trials, research and donations. Parts in good condition are used to repair other devices in these programs.

Then, recycle

What cannot be reused is separated into batteries, circuit boards and casings, and handed over for recycling in line with the regulations of each country.

A second life with social impact

Refurbished devices are not sold again. This is where they go:

Field trial kits

They become part of the kits we send out to test new technologies in real conditions.

Support for the technology transition

Donations for those who need to modernize their processes but lack the resources to make the leap.

Free access to technology

For those who could not pay for it, such as small farmers, community associations and community water committees.

Student research

Devices for student research projects and practical training, among other educational uses.

Could your community or organization benefit?

Small producers, community associations, community water committees, students and researchers can apply to receive devices free of charge.
