Many companies have to report on their environmental footprint. We can help reconcile these two things with a range of options and offers to help reduce the carbon footprint of your network refresh. ## ![MS_Solutions_LAN](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/Solutions/MS_Solutions_LAN.png?width=353&height=353&name=MS_Solutions_LAN.png). # IPTel Solutions Contact Us ![AboutUs_1](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/AboutUs_1.png?width=1080&height=1080&name=AboutUs_1.png) ##### **Reduce Costs and your Carbon Footprint** As we all seek to reduce our carbon footprint, we have a number of options that we can offer to not only save your business money, but be environmentally responsible at the same time. The circular economy is an initiative which seeks to maximise the usefulness of any product which is made. This means recycling into new products, environmentally safe disposal and refurbishing equipment for reuse. It will save you **money and it's good for the environment**. With our partners at Cisco, in the following sections, we'll detail the following great options: - **Customer Recycling:** Recycle your Cisco products that have reached the end of their useful life - **Takeback and Reuse:** Return hardware that has reached is end-of-use - **Refresh:** Purchase and utilise remanufactured networking equipment The really great part, is that all the above initiatives will either save you money or come at **zero cost to your business.** Associated Blogs: - [Environmentally Sustainable Network Refresh](https://blog.iptel.com.au/environmentally-sustainable-network-refresh?hsLang=en-au) --- ## Cisco Customer Recycling Solutions Cisco will pay to collect your old equipment and ensure it is recycled - they advise us that 99% of your returned electronic components will be recycled for reuse. That has to make sense for your business, in knowing that your equipment has been responsibility disposed of (they will also provide a certificate, if you need that too), but is going towards the build of future networking products, reducing your carbon footprint. All at NO COST TO YOU! There are some caveats of course, so if you wanted to find out more about the program, here's the link: - [Cisco Customer Recycling Solutions](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/takeback-and-reuse/takeback-recycle-program.html?dtid=osscdc000283) [![Eco-Friendly Network Refresh (Square)](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/Solutions/Eco-Friendly%20Network%20Refresh%20(Square).png?width=1024&height=1024&name=Eco-Friendly%20Network%20Refresh%20(Square).png "Eco-Friendly Network Refresh (Square)")](https://blog.iptel.com.au/environmentally-sustainable-network-refresh?hsLang=en-au) ## Cisco Takeback and Reuse Similar to the Cisco Customer Recycling Solution above, the Takeback and Reuse option allows the equipment to go into the circular economy. No cost to you and a very low environmental impact. Let us know what equipment you have, and we can check if we can get you a great discount on your new equipment as well as safely remove your old equipment in one deal. The offer doesn't necessarily apply to just Cisco equipment either - [contact us if you'd like to check the takeback on your equipment.](https://iptel.com.au/contact-us?hsLang=en-au) While you might have some concerns about the security of your equipment, once it leaves your site, Cisco has this covered with the [Cisco Takeback and Reuse program](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/takeback-and-reuse.html) - there's secure returns in the program and validation of how your old equipment wiped and recycled. ## Cisco Refresh Cisco Refresh is the ultimate in circular economy efficiency. Cisco refresh equipment is remanufactu[Cisco refresh equipment is remanufactured equipment](https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/products/remanufactured/index.html)red equipment, which is cheaper than the new equipment. This refresh equipment is backed by the same warranties and Cisco Smartnet coverage though that new equipment is - so there's no risk to you, only access to cheaper pricing for equipment. We can quote you both the new equipment and refresh equipment pricing if you like, so you can see the difference.
