SNEW Telecom – Circular telecoms and IT equipment with a social heart
Description
Refurbishing ICT equipment
Martijn van Engelen founded SNEW in 2013 because he believed that business had to be different and more sustainable. Years before that, the team started as a wholesaler of refurbished telecoms but, wanting to do better, circularity became SNEW's new business model.
ICT equipment is expensive. By working with SNEW, businesses get a fair share of their money back from all used equipment including outdated products. SNEW processes the used equipment and gives it a second life.
