In an effort to promote eco-friendly solutions and help customers reduce electronic waste, Żabka, one of Poland’s most popular retail chains, has partnered with Digital Care to introduce a game-changing smartphone repair service. This innovative initiative not only helps customers save time and money but also reduces the environmental impact of discarded smartphones.
Eco-Friendly Solution to a Growing Problem
The alarming rate of electronic waste has become a significant concern globally, with millions of smartphones discarded every year. In Poland alone, it is estimated that over 10 million smartphones are thrown away annually, contributing to the ever-growing problem of electronic waste. By introducing this repair service, Żabka and Digital Care aim to reduce the number of discarded smartphones, promoting a more sustainable approach to technology.
How the Service Works
The repair service is available online at digitalcare.zabka.pl, where customers can select their phone model, describe the issue, and receive a quote for the repair. The damaged phone is then sent to one of the 10,000 Żabka locations, where it is collected and sent for repair. While the phone is being repaired, customers can rent a temporary replacement device, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily lives.
Two Repair Options to Suit Every Need
The service offers two repair options: authorized repair using original parts and maintaining the manufacturer’s warranty, or non-authorized repair using high-quality replacement parts. The range of repairs is comprehensive, covering everything from cracked screens to water damage.
Fast and Reliable Repair Process
The repair process is swift and efficient, with a turnaround time of up to 7 working days. Each repair is backed by a 90-day warranty, providing customers with peace of mind. To ensure transparency, customers can track the status of their repair online.
Added Benefits for Early Adopters
To celebrate the launch of this innovative service, the first 500 customers will receive a free screen protector installation on their repaired phone.
Strategic Partnership for a Greener Tomorrow
This partnership between Żabka and Digital Care is a strategic move towards a more sustainable future. By providing customers with an eco-friendly solution to smartphone repair, Żabka is taking a significant step towards reducing electronic waste and promoting a culture of sustainability.
