SNEW Circular Telecom & IT

Mission

At SNEW, we care about our planet. Only by making sustainable and responsible use of everything our earth offers now will future generations have a future. We believe that this is only possible with a circular economic system. Just like the earth itself, is a circular ecological system.

Strategy

People believe more and more in a circular system, the slogan is: 'Reuse first, then recycle.' SNEW is a forerunner in the field of circular economy for telecom and IT products. We stretch the product life cycle as far as possible. We relieve our customers of the environmentally responsible treatment of their electrical and electronic waste (EEE). Our product care system gives products a second and sometimes a third life (including developing countries) before they are eventually recycled. In this way we can help companies and governments with sustainable procurement according to ISO 20400 and by helping with their Corporate Social Responsibility according to ISO 26000: with the aim of motivating companies and organizations to develop sustainability and corporate social responsibility by improving the conditions for labor, environment and society.

Vision

SNEW wants to be the partner as a remanufacturer in telecom and IT products. We unburden our customers by making products as new (as new) for a second life. We do this by: collecting, inventorying, overhauling [registering / testing / erasing / cleaning / repairing / packaging] and shipping to any location the customer wishes. The remaining waste is recycled with the aim of recovering the raw materials as much as possible. This year SNEW has the ambition to grow from the pioneering stage to the next level, a professional organization that has developed a circular business instrument with a profitable concept. In addition, we give employees with a distance to the labor market an opportunity to participate in our production process.

This results in a win-win situation for all parties. For the supplier that their products and spare parts remain available for longer. A cheaper product for the customer that is taken back at the end of its lifespan and is therefore reused or recycled in an environmentally responsible manner. But also profit for our earth, which leads to less use of resources (energy), less waste and unnecessary depletion of our earth. SNEW also wants to recruit young employees and senior over 50s with a distance to the labor market to give them the opportunity to provide for their own livelihood and to participate fully in society. In this way SNEW links its sustainability goals directly with an HR policy, in order to make full use of the added value of both products and people. We are like new, signed SNEW.
