プロジェクト概要

The Apple computers refurbishment factory extension by Okamac extends the useful life of Apple laptops and desktop computers through deep refurbishing and repair. Based in Angers, France, the project focuses on MacBook and iMac devices, diverting electronics from waste streams and substituting reconditioned products for new purchases to avoid emissions associated with manufacturing. Devices are triaged into functioning units, items to be repaired, and screen refurbishing, with quality control and warranties designed to ensure reliable second-life performance.
The developer’s comparative life cycle analysis shows significant impacts that vary by device type and are primarily driven by avoided production. The project emphasizes circular practices: manual repair, reuse of components, and partnerships for responsible recycling of non-recoverable parts. A leasing offer aims to further extend device lifetimes by cascading equipment to users with differing performance needs.
The project developer brings a mature technical process (rated at Technology Readiness Level 9) and over a decade of operating experience, reporting more than 100,000 devices processed since 2012, including over 20,000 in 2021. Scaling plans include targeted R&D and process improvements, such as selective screen repairs and component-level fixes, to increase throughput, recover more units, and reduce the need for new parts. 
Co-benefits include job creation and workforce development in circular economy skills, reduced e‑waste, and lower use of virgin materials.
