From E-Waste to Efficiency: The Rise of Device Recycling

Out with the Old, But Not into the Bin

The pace of technology is relentless, leaving behind mountains of e-waste. From mobile phones and routers to desk phones and tablets, businesses upgrade their devices faster than ever.

But here’s the shift: instead of discarding, more companies are recycling, reusing, and repurposing old telecom equipment. And for resellers and tech providers, that’s both an environmental and commercial opportunity.

Why Device Recycling Matters

  • E-waste is the world’s fastest-growing waste stream
  • Millions of perfectly usable devices are scrapped every year
  • Recycling reduces landfill, saves raw materials, and lowers carbon output
  • It also reduces costs for SMEs looking to stretch their IT budgets

Businesses want to act responsibly; they need a partner who can guide them in doing so.

What Can Be Recycled or Refurbished?

  • Mobile handsets and SIM-ready tablets
  • Routers, access points, and broadband devices
  • VoIP desk phones and headsets
  • IoT sensors, terminals, and SIM-based equipment
