Recycling and brand protection for Telecom companies

Environmental protection is central to our business strategy. The management team at SITD have developed an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is certificated to ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental Management System) accredited by the BSi.

SITD are also BSi accredited to:

• ISO 9001:2000 (Quality Management System)

• ISO 27001:2005 (Information Security Management System)

Equipment is recycled in accordance with the requirements of European and UK legislation at our state-of-the-art secure treatment facility in the heart of the West Midlands.

Typically, dismantling and recycling techniques are employed where either re-sale is not achievable, due to obsolescence or damage, or where re-sale is not desirable or prohibited by the client for brand protection reasons.

“Brand Protection” as a primary requirement is becoming increasingly important in the telecommunication market where OEMs are constantly struggling to maintain their business position and credibility against low cost solutions and counterfeit equipment producers.

Asset tracking

Asset tracking of key components thus protecting important intellectual property rights is another highly sensitive and significant aspect of the brand protection and recycling service. Asset tracking is also essential when equipment is either being “written down” or “written off” an asset register.

SITD has far-reaching expertise in managing the full scope of recycling activities. We are constantly developing best practice processes with our UK and worldwide recycling partners to ensure that environmental risks are controlled successfully.

The solution

Importantly, we strive to extract the maximum intrinsic value from our clients material commodities in order to produce an economical solution. SITD is a registered Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF), ensuring full compliance with the reporting requirements for obligated WEEE recently introduced by the WEEE Regulations in the UK.
