Sustainability extends beyond the network, and beyond energy-efficiency and power-reduction measures. One of the most talked-about areas is the circular economy - the concept of eliminating waste and pollution through design, by reusing, remaking and recycling products. It can also help to minimise carbon emissions and reduce manufacturing energy costs by extending product lifecycles. But how does this affect telcos? How can they contribute to - and benefit from - the circular economy? How will it help them with their overall sustainability targets?
