S2S Group’s Sustainability Journey to Becoming Carbon Net Zero
Setting goals and implementing strategies to become carbon net zero.
Our Strategy

Our Commitment to the Circular Economy
S2S Group are committed to the circular economy, which seeks to maintain the functionality as well as extend the utility of components and materials of products throughout their lifecycle. Reducing waste and maximising recycling rates in line with the waste minimisation hierarchy is at the heart of the operational aspects of the business.
S2S Group reuse as many assets as possible (within the client’s data security constraints) and recycles the rest through a manual disassembly process that optimises recycling rates and reduces the need for a large processing plant. With the growing demand for new IT and smartphones, S2S Group’s leading-edge technology and expertise will ensure more products are available for refurbishment and reuse.
