Telefónica Tech’s IT Lifecycle Service is helping global roofing manufacturer, BMI, recover the value from legacy IT while improving its sustainability position. This initiative will cut 1 million KG of CO2 and reduce e-waste by 6,000 KG over 2 years. E-waste has become one of the world’s fastest-growing streams on the planet. The latest Word Economic forum data puts the latest estimated annual figure at 57.4 billion tonnes. BMI had a large quantity of old, decommissioned computers and devices taking up much-needed space across the EU. They wanted to find a sustainable but secure way to reuse, repurpose or recycle these IT assets.
