Reinvesting in IT: The Business Impact of a Mobile Buyback Program

The mobile phones your business has tucked into desk drawers, stacked in storage closets or sitting in a corner gathering dust could be costing your company money.
Your organization is missing out on added revenue by not reusing or recycling these unused wireless devices.
Implementing a mobile buyback program within your organization creates a unique way for your business to safely dispose of used, outdated technologies, as well as upgrade to the newest devices without breaking your budget.
Since most smartphones retain 50% or more of their retail value even after 18 months of use, asset recovery companies will purchase your used wireless phones adding money to your bottom line.
Reusable wireless devices are sent through a data removal process to permanently delete private information and your business is sent a check for the value.
These phones are then resold to companies overseas where these technologies are greatly needed and valued.

Devices that do not retain value are shredded and the materials recycled in an eco-friendly manner.

Developing an asset recovery program within your organization will not only offset the costs of new wireless technologies but also reduce clutter as well as storage costs for these used mobile devices. Businesses and organizations often choose to retain their wireless devices for fear of a confidential data security breach, leading to increased storage costs not to mention the loss of valuable office or warehouse space.
Implementing a wireless buyback program can eliminate these issues as well as protect your organization's sensitive information and your bottom line.
Studies have shown that extending the service life of the phone from one to four years decreases the environmental impacts by about 40%.
A cell phone asset recovery program provides another use for your organizations' outdated, functioning devices by preparing them for reuse in secondary markets. According to the EPA, reusing an electronic device saves up to 20 times more energy than recycling alone.

Mobile phone recycling offers a positive sustainability option that does not cost additional money for programs or credits.

Each month your wireless devices remain in storage, they are diminishing in worth.
Free up valuable storage space and add some money to your telecom budget by developing an asset recovery policy.

Recycling and reuse of your organization's phones through a mobile buyback program will ensure a safe and sustainable end-of-cycle program that keeps the toxic materials inside of wireless phones out of landfills and ensures your sensitive data remains secure. These programs will not only eliminate the hazards and clutter of wireless devices but also turn them into added money for your telecom budget.
