Currys Black Friday survey highlights consumer appetite for refurbished tech

More than a third (36%) of Brits say they are likely to buy second-hand tech ahead of Black Friday and Christmas shopping this year, according to new research from Currys.

In addition, the research, which looked into the figures behind the ‘refurbished revolution’ in tech, found that Brits are now more likely to buy refurbished tech than they are to buy second-hand clothes (19%).

Over a quarter (29%) also said that they would be more likely to buy refurbished rather than new devices if it helped them reduce their environmental footprint.

Three quarters (75%) of respondents said that they were worried about the amount of e-waste they produce.
