Who we are.
Two friends, one practical idea - tech that builds community, not landfill.
From childhood friends to Dads navigating rising costs and a world that feels stretched, Louis and Drew built the Re-Ware Project for one reason - everyone deserves access to technology, without compromising the planet our kids will inherit.
Our story.
Louis and Drew grew up together and have always shared the same values - helping people and protecting the environment.
Louis runs Co-Creative IT, a generational family business that’s worked across the tech space for years. That insight showed him how devices are used throughout their lifespan. When he started seeing perfectly viable tech heading to landfill, the path forward was clear.
Drew brings a practical, community-focused perspective shaped by years in technical roles - from electrical and lighting installation technician work in film and events industries, to running his own sound and lighting system design and installation business. Seeing equipment through its full lifecycle showed him how often good tech is replaced too early. This shaped his view that access should be equitable, and its lifespan respected.
Together, they created a system that makes refurbished devices accessible and affordable. Which led them to develop the Re-Ware Project - a straightforward way to give reliable devices a second life and redirect them to people who actually need them rather than sending them to landfill.
How we work.
Re-Ware partners with corporates, not-for-profits and community minded organisations to build practical circular solutions that keep devices in use, not waste streams.
We operate simply, building long-term partnerships, clear communication, and solutions designed around real needs.
It’s not charity, and it’s not corporate spin. It’s just a better way to use what already exists and make technology part of community, not landfill. If that approach makes sense to you, we’d love to talk.
