SLS – Enabler of Decarbonization and Circularity
enabler of decarbonization and circularity
Most clients come to us with two priorities for their ITAD sustainability programs: improving decarbonization results and increasing circularity.
SLS delivers both.
Decarbonization
By extending product life, recovering valuable components and operating low‑emissions programs across our global network, we help organizations reduce waste, avoid embedded carbon and unlock financial value.
Reuse
We prioritize reuse over recycling when possible. Reuse delivers substantially greater carbon impact than recycling. Keeping devices in service longer avoids the major emissions generated during new manufacturing. This results in a level of carbon reduction that recycling alone cannot match.
Recycling
Recycling obsolete electronics diverts material from landfill or incineration. SLS invests in innovative technology to produce clean recyclables that can be used as a feedstock to replace virgin raw materials in making new products.
Sustainability Calculator
Our Sustainability Calculator provides a full picture view of carbon avoidance, enabling clients to quantify the emissions savings achieved when choosing reuse and recycling pathways. This transparency empowers organizations to track progress toward net zero goals and demonstrate verified Scope 3 reductions.
For our clients
Enabling Circularity
SLS enables circularity by prioritizing repurposing, resale and spare part harvesting. Ask about our specialty programs:
