JT has expanded its circular economy programme through a new partnership designed to make it easier for islanders to recycle old and unused electronic devices.
The telecommunications provider has partnered with IT Hardware Services CI (ITHSCI) to introduce secure device recycling points in its stores. The initiative aims to ensure unwanted devices are either refurbished, reused or responsibly recycled, helping to reduce electronic waste and keep technology in circulation for longer.
The move builds on JT’s existing partnership with We Buy Any Phone, launched last year, which allows customers to trade in old devices through an online platform in exchange for cashback. JT said the programme has already contributed to increased device reuse across the Channel Islands.
The latest initiative forms part of the company’s wider efforts to support a circular economy by extending the lifespan of electronic devices and reducing unnecessary waste.
Helene Narcy, Chief Financial Officer at JT, said: “We are committed to playing our part in creating a more sustainable future. By strengthening our circular economy initiatives, we’re making it easier for our customers to recycle their old devices and make more environmentally conscious choices when upgrading. Refurbished technology is a key part of that journey, offering both environmental and financial benefits.”
Stuart Moseley, Director at ITHSCI, added: “We’re delighted to be partnering with JT on this important initiative. By introducing secure and accessible recycling points in-store, we’re helping ensure more devices are processed responsibly and kept within the circular economy for as long as possible.”
