Philips marks Earth Day today, April 22, by offering a lifetime warranty on its refurbished products
Royal Philips, a leading health technology company headquartered in the Netherlands, is making strides towards a more sustainable future. The company, which generated 18 billion euros in sales in 2024 and employed approximately 67,800 employees with sales and service locations in over 100 countries, is focusing on improving people's health and well-being through meaningful innovation.
One of the ways Philips is achieving this is by expanding its circular portfolio, which includes refurbished products. These products, meticulously prepared and tested to Philips standards, offer the same quality and warranty as new ones. Each refurbished product goes through a thorough inspection, professional cleaning, repair if necessary, and retesting by Philips experts.
Philips is not just offering refurbished products; it is changing the perception of them. Marlies Gebetsberger, Head of Western Europe, Philips Personal Health, stated that the company aims to encourage consumers to rethink the definition of "new". In 2024, Philips launched a pilot project during Black Friday in the Benelux countries, featuring refurbished products during a major shopping event called Refurb Friday, a world premiere aimed at raising awareness for reuse.
The company's commitment to sustainability is evident in its initiatives. For instance, Philips is aiming to generate 25% of its revenue from circular products and solutions by 2025, with 100% of its products designed according to Philips' EcoDesign principles. This focus on circularity has already led to significant environmental benefits. Philips has given over 30,000 body care products a second life and recovered 10.5 tons of materials from returned devices.
In a notable move, Philips announced an Earth Day offer in 2025. Every Philips Refurb personal care product purchased in the Netherlands and Germany on April 22, 2025, will come with a lifetime warranty. This offer, a one-time promotion, underscores Philips' dedication to sustainability and its belief that refurbished products are designed for longevity, based on the company's highest standards, and are better for the planet.
More information about Philips and its sustainability initiatives can be found at www.philips.de/presse. The press contact for Philips can be reached at [email protected] or +49 172 400 4177. It's clear that Philips is not just a company committed to improving health and well-being, but also one dedicated to creating a more sustainable future.
It's worth noting that while the Earth Day offer in 2025 is limited to the Netherlands and Germany, there are no publicly available search results indicating which countries Philips has registered for a lifetime warranty promotion for all refurbished personal care products to have the same warranty coverage as new products on April 22, 2025.
Refurbished products have a significantly lower ecological footprint compared to manufacturing new products. By choosing refurbished products, consumers can make a difference in reducing waste, reusing materials, and extending the lifespan of high-quality devices, all while enjoying the same quality and warranty as new products.
