As part of its partnership with IT asset management and disposal provider BMS-IT, One New Zealand is expanding its electronic equipment disposition service for Enterprise and Public Sector customers.
One NZ already works closely with customers to facilitate the collection of redundant mobiles and tablets. With the expansion of the scheme, all electronic equipment and electronic waste (e-waste) will be accepted, which is passed on to BMS-IT for processing and data wiping at their solar powered facility in Auckland. The majority of items are re-purposed through BMS’s remarketing function with the remaining materials recycled as e-waste, minimising waste to landfill.
Chief Enterprise Director Mike Purchase believes the announcement is well timed. “We know many New Zealand businesses will transition to Windows 11 shortly, requiring the disposal of end-of-life devices. We’re really pleased we can support this e-waste recovery and disposal process in a way that aligns with One NZ’s Sustainability Kaupapa.”
“This initiative is both financially and environmentally sustainable for our customers, being either cost neutral or potentially offering rebates,” adds Mike. “This is all part of us being a fair and equitable partner.”
As well as making it easy for customers to reduce their e-waste footprint, One NZ is focused on its own footprint and has set a goal to recycle at least 95% of its network waste.
