How many upgrades do we have left?

Let’s end fast tech.

Fast tech’s race to upgrade bears a growing responsibility for the climate crisis.

The total digital industry accounts for 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions and could represent 14% of total global emissions by 2040, all else being equal (projection for 2040 made considering the 2016-level of global greenhouse gas emissions).

Give me your blemished, your refurbished… @perfectlyimperfect hosted a party with @backmarket to celebrate old tech. We pulled up to @silenceplease for the event last Saturday, and here’s what went down.

This past Saturday, we hit @perfectlyimperfect × @backmarket’s NYC party at @silenceplease to celebrate “Ugly Computer,” Back Market’s collection of flawed but fully functional laptops. In the spirit of reviving the old, we asked partygoers for the songs that deserve a second chance.

You wouldn’t steal a classic ad from the 90s and use it to vaguely promote @backmarket‘s Ugly MacBooks

@gerardwalshfilmmaker

Perfectly Imperfect and @backmarket are taking over @silenceplease this Saturday (5/16) to celebrate the launch of Back Market’s Ugly Computer: a collection of perfectly functional MacBooks with unique stories and looks.

hosted by @turtlewithhat_

DJ sets from @nation_soldier, @velvetteblue, @djthankyou, and @rockierode

exclusive merch, interactive exhibits, flash tattoos, drinks, and more ⭐

5.3 billion electronic devices get thrown away each year… even tho 80% still work! But @backmarketis giving a new life to second-hand tech that can be overlooked aka The Ugly Computer AD ♻️

Back Market is challenging the idea that imperfect means broken & keeps value in items that have been written off for how they look, not how they perform

Inspired by their approach to embracing the imperfect, I create a bag from leftover fabric. Highlighting all the seams and paths through decorative joining embroidery, I wanted to show the beauty in cracks.

You can explore their Obsolete category online, where perfectly good tech gets a second life. While not only being better for the planet, it’s also more cost-effective 💚💚

200,000 of you 🌍 One home for us all.

This account is now the global Instagram home for the entire Back Market community. We couldn’t have picked a better moment as we celebrate with 200k followers from across the world.

Whether you’ve been here from the start or just found us: Welcome. Bienvenue. Bienvenidos. Willkommen.

Sony killed the production of the MiniDisc Player in 2013. Hundreds of artists and collectors are refusing to let it die.
