European Circular Economy Specialists

Founded in 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal, Quotidian Particle brings 15+ years of business management expertise to mobile device lifecycle management with a sustainability-first approach.

Who We Are

Quotidian Particle emerged from a simple observation: the mobile device industry generates enormous waste, yet functional devices constantly flow through carriers, insurers, and auction houses. We saw an opportunity to create meaningful environmental impact while building a profitable, sustainable business.

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, we've quickly established ourselves as one of Europe's emerging players in broken and graded mobile device trading. Our European base gives us access to quality stock from carriers and auction houses across the EU, while our conference presence in Dubai, Barcelona, and Berlin connects us with buyers worldwide.

We're not trying to be the biggest—we're focused on being the most reliable, transparent, and sustainability-driven partner in the space.

Leadership

João Teixeira de Freitas

Founder & Owner

João brings 15 years of business management experience to Quotidian Particle, including expertise in tax consulting, accounting, and business operations. Before entering the mobile device lifecycle industry, João managed diverse business ventures including event production, developing a deep understanding of operational excellence and client partnership.

His vision for Quotidian Particle is clear: build a circular economy-focused company that proves environmental responsibility and business success are not just compatible—they're complementary.

Beyond Quotidian Particle, João owns and operates a tax consulting and accounting firm in Portugal, bringing financial rigor and strategic thinking to the mobile device business.

How We Work

Transparency First

We believe in honest grading, clear communication, and straightforward partnerships. You'll always know exactly what you're getting when you work with us.

Circular Economy Driven

Sustainability isn't a marketing department initiative—it's why we exist. Every device we refurbish or trade extends lifecycles and reduces e-waste.

European Quality Standards

Portuguese-based operations with European oversight means consistent quality you can rely on, whether you're buying or selling.

Personal Relationships

We're active at industry conferences because relationships matter. You'll work with people who know you and your business, not a rotating cast of account managers.
