Staples Canada has partnered with Allstate Protection Plans to launch the new Staples Trade-in by Allstate program, which allows Canadians to exchange their unwanted electronics for Staples e-gift cards.
The initiative, which aims to support families and students ahead of the back-to-school season and reduce e-waste, offers a fast and intuitive way to trade in smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
How does it work? Customers answer a few questions online to receive an instant quote. Once accepted, the trade-in value is issued as a Staples e-gift card, redeemable immediately in-store at any Staples location in Canada. Devices can then be dropped off at the customer’s local Staples store or shipped directly to Allstate using a prepaid shipping label.
“We’re committed to making it easier for customers to access the latest technology in a smarter, more sustainable way,” says Rachel Huckle, CEO, Staples Canada. “With Staples Trade-in by Allstate, we’re offering a simple solution that supports customers in upgrading their devices while reducing electronic waste, helping them work, learn and live more sustainably.”
Allstate Protection Plans will power every facet of the Staples Trade-in program, delivering a seamless end-to-end experience for customers. The program leverages Allstate’s expertise in circular economy enablement and electronic lifecycle management, including device valuation, logistics coordination, secure shipping, certified refurbishment, and responsible recycling.
“Tech trade-ins should be simple, fast and sustainable,” explains Karl Wiley, CEO of Allstate Protection Plans. “Together with Staples Canada, we’re making it easier to cut waste and create real value from old devices. That’s a win-win for customers’ wallets and the planet.”
Staples Trade-in by Allstate builds on the successful partnership between the two companies, which includes Staples Protection Plans by Allstate, a comprehensive range of coverage for items including smartphones, laptops, tablets and headphones, and office essentials like printers, chairs, and furniture.
Staples Trade-in by Allstate is available online and at all Staples locations across Canada.
