Sustainability is more than just an environmental concern for the telecom industry. It’s also a smart business strategy. TXO’s Group Operations Director, Julia Evans, discussed with Fierce Network the growing incentive for telcos to embrace the circular economy by recycling and reselling legacy equipment.
“It really is creating the circular economy – and it’s getting bigger and bigger” Julia Evans, Group Operations Director, TXO
Sweden is leading the way in sustainable telecom by modernising networks early and embracing circular practices. While legacy tech still presents some hurdles, operators are managing it more efficiently than most. Their proactive resale strategies show how network upgrades can be both smart and sustainable.
Every business strives to operate more sustainably, but measuring real progress can be a challenge. That’s where TXO’s industry-first Carbon Calculator comes in. Integrated within i-TRAC, it provides a smarter way to track your environmental and financial impact, all in one place!
At TXO, sustainability is more than just a buzzword – it’s embedded in everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to support Circular Valley and contribute to shaping a future where circularity is the norm, not the exception.
Integrated into TXO’s asset management software, i-TRAC, the calculator calculates carbon savings by comparing the carbon footprint of brand-new products with the footprint of refurbished equipment, including transport and repairs.
Telecom operators need more than suppliers, they need partners that invest in understanding their unique challenges, anticipate change, and co-create tailored solutions. In this blog, Mounir Tabet‑Aoul shares how TXO is helping networks across North Africa grow sustainably through innovation, collaboration, and long-term value.
As the pressure mounts for telecom operators to meet their net zero targets, it’s clear that progress is anything but straightforward.
Strategic expansion strengthens TXO’s scale in North America, reinforcing its leadership in the global circular economy and enhancing service capabilities across the region.
With the shift to 5G, a leading Polish network operator faced the challenge of managing obsolete 4G infrastructure. Partnering with TXO, they transformed surplus equipment into €260K in revenue through an innovative resale and recycling model—with further potential ahead.
We are delighted to announce that TXO has been named one of the top sustainability companies in TechRound’s Sustainability60, securing the #57 spot. This prestigious recognition highlights organisations across the UK and Europe that are driving meaningful environmental change in technology and business.
The telecoms industry is accelerating its shift towards circularity in 2025. With 2G/3G shutdowns, refurbished equipment, and evolving supply chains, operators are embracing sustainable solutions.
