Telstra Sustainability Partnership

Telstra, Australia’s leading telecommunications and technology company, has chosen Skyzer to deliver national device returns processing and refurbishment services. The arrangement caters for NBN modem gateways and other consumer technology equipment.

Supporting Telstra’s leadership in sustainability and carbon neutral operating goals, Skyzer will help keep returned devices out of landfill. Through a rigorous testing and validation process Skyzer will help return as many fully working devices back to the field as possible.

Speaking at an industry event in Melbourne, Skyzer’s founder and CEO, Troy Sneddon shared “This strengthening of our relationship with Telstra is a great example of how Australian companies can partner to bring sustainability benefits.”

“Together, we’ve put a tremendous amount of effort into resource re-use. We’re making sure that we handle returned devices securely, testing them thoroughly and either refurbishing them to an ‘As New’ state or separating them out into their resource categories for recycling. This will help returned equipment avoid going to landfill, wherever possible.”

“Impressively, even the cardboard packaging of Telstra’s NBN modem gateway devices is made from a far more recyclable cardboard. All refurbishment activities take place here in Australia at Skyzer’s facilities” he added.
