Environmentally Responsible from the Ground Up
At The Big Phone Store, we don’t just talk about sustainability – we live it every day. Our solar farm powers 85% of our operations, and we drive a fleet of electric cars to reduce our carbon footprint further. In fact, every aspect of our business is designed with the environment in mind:
- Reusing packaging: We reuse any incoming packaging wherever possible.
- Pre-owned office: Everything we use, including furniture, carpet tiles, plants, and machinery, has been sourced secondhand.
- Eco-conscious tech: Our computers run on eco mode, and timers control all our lights to reduce energy usage.
- Innovative waste solutions: We even operate a worm farm to handle our organic waste, reflecting our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.

Our Founder’s Story
Hi, I’m Steven Athwal, one of the founders of The Big Phone Store. Growing up in the ‘70s and '80s, I developed a deep appreciation for frugality and recycling, values that shaped both my personal life and our business. As mobile phones emerged during my late teens, I became fascinated by their potential and saw an opportunity to combine my love for technology with a commitment to sustainability.
That’s how The Big Phone Store was born. We believe in offering high-quality refurbished phones that not only save you money but also help protect the environment. Our mission is to make technology accessible to all while supporting sustainable practices.
