Sustainability Lead Ecowave focuses on maximizing reuse of collected telecom products and positions recycling as a last resort, opening opportunities to partner with refurbishers, OEMs, and operators seeking sustainable end-of-life programs.

Channel Partnerships With a Benelux network of over 600 stores and partnerships with operators and manufacturers, there is a clear channel ecosystem ripe for expanding turnkey refurbishment services, trade-in programs, and white-label solutions.

Regulatory Alignment Compliance with WEEE directives and official recognition by Dutch and Belgian authorities enhances credibility for large telco clients seeking compliant reverse logistics and circular economy initiatives.

Growth Readiness Small team but broad market exposure suggests a focused yet scalable model; potential upsell to mid-market and enterprise customers running large-scale device take-back and refurbishment operations.

Digital & Tech Stack Existing web and CMS tools (WordPress, Umbraco, Shopify) indicate capacity to support customer portals, service catalogs, and referrals for refurbishment tracking, diagnostics services, and warranty management.
