Matts Digital's commitment: responsible VR and AR solutions
Faced with environmental and social challenges, companies must rethink the way they consume and offer solutions. As a major player in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), Matts Digital places corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the heart of its strategy. Through our various services, we are committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly immersive technology.
1. Rental: flexibility and a reduced ecological footprint
We provide AR/VR device rental solutions tailored to every need, whether for one-off use or a long-term project. This approach offers several advantages. On the one hand, it contributes to the reduction of electronic waste by favoring rental over the purchase of new devices. As a result, our customers avoid unnecessary purchases and reduce the production of new electronic equipment.
On the other hand, it is part of a environmental responsibility approach, offering an alternative to purchasing new products in order to support the circular economy. Thanks to this flexibility, we support each company in moving towards a more sustainable use of immersive technologies.
Matts Digital offers several rental options to meet the needs of each project. For one-off use, we offer short-term rental solutions ranging from 1 to 30 days. This solution is ideal for events, trade shows, training sessions, or demonstrations. This flexibility allows companies to access high-performance XR equipment without having to invest in it.
For more recurring needs, we also offer medium- and long-term rentals in partnership with Locam, a subsidiary of the Crédit Agricole group specializing in rental financing. This offer allows you to use the equipment for a period of 24 to 36 months, while benefiting from regular renewal of the devices in order to anticipate their obsolescence and take advantage of the latest technological innovations. By encouraging rental rather than the purchase of new devices, we are actively contributing to a more sustainable circular economy.
2. Electronic repair: extending the life of equipment
A collaboration with Itancia
To strengthen our commitment to more responsible technology, we are collaborating with Itancia, a partner recognized for its expertise, know-how, and CSR involvement. A leading player in the field, Itancia has prestigious certifications that attest to the quality and sustainability of its practices. Together, we share the same values: reducing waste and reusing equipment throughout its life cycle.
Itancia’s commitment is based on concrete actions:
- 95% of waste is recycled
- more than 95% of biodiversity on their sites in five years
- a gender equality index of 86/100 in 2023
This strategic partnership enables us to offer our customers a high-quality service that is tailored to their needs and in line with our CSR commitments. Each device is responsibly managed from the moment it is put into service until the end of its life cycle.
Reliable and durable repairs
Matts Digital offers an electronic repair service to extend the life and optimize the performance of your XR devices. Repairs are carried out by highly qualified experts with in-depth technical expertise and recognized certifications. These repairs extend beyond the manufacturer’s warranty, allowing customers to extend the life of their devices and reduce replacement costs.
Each repair is carried out using precise procedures and rigorous quality control to ensure reliable results that comply with original standards. In addition, we ensure fast, careful, and reliable service to guarantee optimal use of the equipment. This follow-up translates into clear communication at every stage, which strengthens the relationship of trust with our customers.
Our teams work on headsets of all brands, regardless of model or generation. We also carry out in-depth bug analysis to quickly identify malfunctions, understand their causes, and provide targeted and sustainable solutions. In addition, we ensure the complete refurbishment of devices through the use of spare parts, in order to restore them to their original performance.
Finally, our approach includes a preventative dimension. By anticipating major breakdowns, we are able to intervene before they impact the operation of the devices. This strategy extends the life of the equipment and optimizes its performance over the long term.
An exclusive Pico repair service
As an official partner of Pico, we offer an exclusive service:
- repairs carried out with original Pico parts
- technicians trained by Pico teams
- interventions in accordance with specifications
This approach helps reduce the overconsumption of electronic devices, extend the lifespan of XR equipment, and offer our customers high-performance products. Through these interventions, we promote more sustainable use of immersive technologies and encourage responsible consumption.
3. Refurbishment: giving equipment a second life
Thanks to our refurbishment service, we give immersive solutions a second life, while meeting the XR sector’s sustainability requirements. This process involves refurbishing used equipment to extend its lifespan. Each refurbished device helps reduce electronic waste, contributing to the sustainability of existing devices.
All products are tested and comply with strict safety and hygiene standards, ensuring a reliable, high-performance, and completely secure user experience. By choosing refurbished equipment, companies are adopting a more sustainable approach to consumption while benefiting from cutting-edge technology at a lower cost. This approach combines performance, sustainability, and responsibility, in line with the principles of the circular economy.
4. Responsible and secure recycling of equipment
When devices reach the end of their life, we ensure that they are recycled in accordance with WEEE standards. Each component is carefully sorted and recovered to minimize its impact on the environment and promote the reuse of materials. This approach helps reduce the amount of electronic waste while optimizing the use of existing resources.
At the same time, all personal data stored on the devices is securely erased in accordance with legal and regulatory standards for data protection. This step ensures strict compliance with current regulations and provides total security for our customers. Thanks to this approach, each AR/VR device follows a complete life cycle, from its first use to its final recycling.
Through its concrete actions, Matts Digital demonstrates that it is possible to combine innovation, performance, and CSR commitment. From rental to repair, reconditioning, and recycling, we integrate sustainable practices into every stage of the life cycle of our XR solutions. This comprehensive approach reduces environmental impact, optimizes resources, and adds value to equipment over the long term. By guiding our customers towards more sustainable solutions, we help them reconcile their technological objectives with their commitments to sustainable development. Matts Digital has thus established itself as a trusted partner, capable of offering high-performance immersive technologies that are aligned with current environmental challenges.
