The MyGizmo application integrates technology and sustainability by offering consumers a new and unique way to recover money while extending the useful life of their expensive electronics.
CINCINNATI – December 12, 2016 – The MyGizmo platform empowers consumers to prevent electronic waste by allowing anyone to participate in the ‘sharing economy’ for electronics. MyGizmo leverages a user’s networks and local community to create a social marketplace for buying, selling, and trading of new and used gizmos.
Trayak first piloted the MyGizmo App in the Mason, OH community and received valuable user feedback. This feedback spurred continued market research and a major round of development. Today the application has been released in the US and in selected global markets.
With the latest update, MyGizmo expands beyond cell phones to many common product categories like cameras, televisions, computers, wearable tech, and video game consoles. All these categories of gizmos can now be traded on the MyGizmo social marketplace. Users can easily see and measure the positive environmental impact of reusing their gizmos.
