Back Market, a marketplace for renewed electronics based in Paris, has announced Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS), an information technology asset disposition (ITAD) provider in West Chicago, Illinois, is now selling electronics in its online marketplace.

“SLS will be supplying enterprise-level equipment on the Back Market platform, giving our customers access to business-grade products and helping advance circularity,” says Lauren Benton, general manager at Back Market in the United States, which is based in New York City. “We are so excited to welcome a leader like SLS to our marketplace. Keeping assets in circulation longer shifts more products from liabilities to assets and increases value for all.” 

According to Back Market, the two companies are working to expand the availability of professionally refurbished, high-quality devices globally to maximize the life of electronics components, products and materials. 

“As SLS continues to grow, we are always looking for additional channels to sell our products,” says Sean Magann, chief commercial officer. “These additional channels help us find better value for our clients, and the diversity helps make sure that no one channel is overwhelmed with product. It has been great working with Back Market, and we look forward to continuing to grow our relationship.”

SLS says it works with enterprises, data centers and electronics manufacturers to retire, redeploy and recycle IT assets with processes ensuring data security and environmental compliance. 

The two companies say they hope to raise awareness about the amount of electronic scrap ending up in landfills through this partnership. The World Economic Forum estimates each U.S. resident generates an average of 44 pounds of e-scrap every year. Both companies align on the importance of promoting a circular electronics industry and see this collaboration as increasing value for their customers and the industry.
