E- Waste Management.
The estimated life span for most appliances is between 2 -10 years. Products that do not have active warranty essentially become electrical waste in the event of a breakdown. Our after-sale support services contribute to the extension element of the e-waste hierarchy for displacement settings aims to extend the lifetime of a product or its constituent parts through repair, reuse and refurbishment, thereby reducing the volume of electrical waste.

Cai Williams
‘’You can test something a million and one ways under test conditions in a lab, but nothing beats getting a product out in the field with customers to truly discover its flaws and successes. The Kijani testing base in Kenya allows us to continuously field-test new products and designs without the stress and hassle of having to arrange and set up the testing network ourselves.”
