It’s Black Friday this week, which means frenzied shopping and impulsive purchases. Last Black Friday and Cyber Monday, electronics were a bestseller – but also a major contributor to e-waste. It’s estimated that over 2 million of unwanted electronics were thrown away last year after Cyber Week, and only 29% of Black Friday-induced e-waste is recycled.
At PICS Telecom, we believe in responsible practices that prioritize the well-being of our planet over discounts. These e-waste statistics are adding to the environmental burden that we’re working to reduce. With that in mind, we would like to proclaim our commitment to a different kind of Friday – one that aligns with our values of sustainability, responsibility, and environmental consciousness.
Welcome to Green Friday
Rather than vie for your attention with discounts, we choose to focus on the lasting impact of your choices. Our decision to forgo Black Friday discounts is rooted in our commitment to sustainability in telecom. We invite you to join us in making thoughtful choices that benefit not just your business but also the environment. And our recycling and investment recovery programs can help with that.
Sustainable Practices: Our telecom recycling services are designed to minimize electronic waste and promote the reuse of valuable resources. By choosing PICS Telecom, businesses contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy.
Environmental Impact: The environmental toll of electronic waste is staggering. Green Friday is our way of urging businesses to consider the impact of their technology choices. Responsible disposal of telecom equipment is not just a choice – it’s a responsibility we share with our partners for the well-being of our planet.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Many businesses today recognize the importance of CSR. By partnering with PICS Telecom, organizations can enhance their CSR profile, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable practices that resonate with today’s socially conscious consumers.
Long-Term Benefits: Our focus is on providing long-term value to our clients. Instead of discounts, we offer businesses the opportunity to invest in a sustainable future through our investment recovery program. By recycling telecom equipment responsibly, companies can reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and contribute to a positive environmental legacy.
