When people hear the term “used device,” they often picture something worn out, outdated, or unreliable.
Questions like “Is it really as good as new?” or “Will it perform the same?” are common. But these perceptions often don’t reflect the reality of modern device renewal.
At Foxway, every device that enters the Teqcycle renewal process undergoes a comprehensive journey designed to restore quality, performance, and reliability. The result is a renewed device that is ready for its next user and its next chapter.
According to Paul Tataru, Service Team Leader Production at Foxway:
“People often think of a used product as something that is not comparable to a new one, either visually or technically. But the reality is quite different, because renewed products offer all the advantages of a new product.”
Giving devices a second life through Teqcycle
The Teqcycle renewal process is far more than a repair.
It’s a structured process designed to extend the lifespan of devices while ensuring they meet high standards for functionality and quality.
As Paul explains:
“Once in the Foxway refurbishing process, any product gets a new life. It is a very rigorous process designed to ensure the product meets the standards set by the manufacturer.”
Every device is carefully assessed, tested, and restored according to strict procedures. The goal isn’t simply to make a device operational again, but to ensure it delivers a dependable experience for its next user.
More than repair: a complete renewal process
Before a device becomes a Teqcycle-renewed product, it undergoes a detailed evaluation of both its technical condition and cosmetic appearance.
Depending on its condition, the device receive anything from minor cosmetic improvements to more comprehensive restoration involving component replacement and repairs. Throughout the process, devices are cleaned, inspected, repaired where necessary, and subjected to extensive hardware and software testing.
Before leaving the facility, every device passes multiple quality controls, getting ready to deliver reliable performance from day one.
As Paul puts it:
“After the refurbishing process, any product performs much better. To compare it with the automotive field, it is similar to a complete overhaul of a car.”
The comparison is fitting. The Teqcycle renewal process goes beyond fixing individual issues. It is about restoring a device so it can continue delivering the performance and reliability users expect.
The bigger picture
The impact of renewing devices extends beyond technology itself.
Devices renewed through Teqcycle remains in use for longer, maximizing value of existing resources and reducing the need for unnecessary replacement.
This is an important part of Foxway’s vision for a more circular tech industry, where devices are kept in circulation through renewal, reuse, and responsible lifecycle management.
Sometimes, the real value of a device is not whether it is brand new, but how well it continues to perform.
“What’s new is wonderful, but what’s repaired is even better!”

Perhaps it is time to rethink what value really means.
