Today is Earth Overshoot Day in the UK – the point in the year when we’ve used up more natural resources than the planet can regenerate in 12 months. It’s a stark reminder that the way we consume needs to change.

At Forbes Rentals, we’re committed to doing our part to shift the balance; and one key way we’re doing that is through our preloved, fully refurbished product range.

Instead of sending used appliances and electronics to landfill, we give them a second life. Each item is professionally refurbished, rigorously tested, and quality checked by our in-house experts, meaning you're getting reliable, high-performance tech – without the environmental cost of buying new. Spare parts are also refurbished and used for repairing other rental items.

By giving electronics and appliances a second life through our preloved, fully refurbished range we can help with the shift from a throwaway culture to a circular one.

Why choose refurbished?

Because manufacturing new electronics and appliances comes at an environmental cost; from raw material extraction and energy-intensive production, to the carbon emissions tied to global shipping. Every new item has a footprint.

When you choose a refurbished product, you help:

• Cut down harmful carbon emissions
• Conserve raw materials and reduce energy use
• Prevent perfectly good items from ending up in landfill
• Support a more sustainable, circular economy

All our preloved products are rigorously tested, refurbished to high standards, and ready to perform - just like new, only greener.

Shop with purpose. Shop preloved.
