Why NEAD?
E-waste and Telecom Network Equipment is ending up in Landfills and it's time for a better solution.
Telecom networks play a critical role in global connectivity. NEAD helps ensure that the technology enabling those networks doesn’t become part of the problem.

80%
of E-waste is estimated to be improperly disposed of.
Global e-waste reached 62 million metric tons in 2022, but only 22.3% was properly collected and recycled.

82M
metric tons of e-waste projected by 2030, a 32% increase worldwide.

15%
of U.S. e-waste is recycled properly. Despite that, China, the U.S., and India are the world’s largest producers of electronic waste.
How NEAD Works:

1. Resale-First Value Recovery
Refurbish and remarket viable equipment to global buyers and channel partners to achieve optimal value.

2. Sustainability & Circular Economy
Extend equipment lifespan, reduce new manufacturing, and contribute to the global circular economy with responsible recycling.

3. Transparency & Trust
Each asset is tracked through serialized chain-of-custody documentation and full client audit trails, giving you total visibility and assurance.
