For over 30 years PICS Telecom has been committed to bringing technology full circle, over time this vision has led to the creation and development of telecom’s circular economy. For those who are unsure of the term circular economy, please refer to the below.

Circular vs linear economy

PICS Telecom offers a comprehensive, full-stack network service suite and solution that seeks to maintain, repair, reuse, and recycle surplus and/or redundant network equipment, preventing said material and equipment from entering landfill sites across the globe.

This service model, alongside PICS Telecoms’ recent 0% Landfill accreditation enables PICS partners to experience significant cost-savings whilst rapidly reducing their environmental impact and damage, thus aiding environmental CSR goals.

PICS green value proposition identifies and tackles multiple sections of the waste hierarchy model as detailed below.

The waste hierarchy model is a tool used in the evaluation of processes that protect the environment alongside resource and energy consumption from most favorable to least favorable actions. The hierarchy establishes preferred program priorities based on sustainability. To be sustainable, waste management cannot be solved only with technical end-of-pipe solutions and an integrated approach is necessary.

The waste management hierarchy indicates an order of preference for action to reduce and manage waste and is usually presented diagrammatically in the form of a pyramid. The hierarchy captures the progression of a material or product through successive stages of waste management and represents the latter part of the life-cycle for each product.

Reuse : Reduce : Recycle : Regenerate

• Reuse : Reused and/or refurbished network equipment
• Reduce : Reduction of network equipment resulting in landfill sites
• Recycle : Comprehensive in-house recycling programs alongside PICS 0% landfill accreditation and commitment in the UK
• Regenerate : Land and ocean-based regeneration programs that serve as an extension to PICS IR service model, assisting in the creation of a cleaner system

Alongside PICS Telecoms’ service model, PICS has formed value-driven collaborations with multiple regeneration schemes, both land, and ocean-based as an effort to further assist PICS and its partners in not only reducing their environmental impact but also assisting in the creation and development of a cleaner system for generations to come.
