Sell iPads & tablets
Tablets from businesses, schools and public administration.
Organisations usually deploy tablets in large, uniform fleets – in field service, logistics, retail, schools and public administration. That is exactly what makes them attractive for resale: uniform models are easy to test, refurbish and remarket. Smartphones and tablets are our core expertise, and we are set up to take over complete class sets or returns from several sites.

Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager.
Most iPads in organisations are registered via Apple Business Manager (ABM) or Apple School Manager (ASM) and managed through mobile device management. For a device to be set up again after the sale, it must be released from the organisation, and activation lock must no longer be active. If an iPad is still assigned, it will boot back into the school’s or company’s device management after a reset. The simplest approach is to release the devices collectively in ABM or ASM before handover. We match the devices delivered against their serial numbers and let you know if individual iPads are still locked.

- Devices that cannot be erased are physically destroyed and disposed of with certification by AWG Klövenhausen

Sustainably reused.
Refurbished iPads and tablets are remarketed through our partner network in more than 20 countries, giving them a second life cycle. For your sustainability reporting, we can produce a CO₂ report together with Rejoose on request, separately estimating emissions avoided compared with buying new equipment as a supplementary ESG metric, without deducting them from the Scope 1/2/3 inventory.
