F & W Networks and Hey!Broadband Goes Green: Reusing Routers & ONTs for a Sustainable Future
25/03/2025
At F & W Networks, we are dedicated to creating a greener, more sustainable future. We value working closely with companies that share our vision, such as Hey! Broadband. Driven by our commitment to improving the world we live in, we are working together on our sustainability initiatives by reusing routers and Optical Network Terminals (ONTs). Through this collaboration, we are significantly reducing electronic waste and our carbon footprint while continuing to provide high-quality connectivity to our customers.
Electronic waste is a growing global concern, and as responsible broadband providers, we recognize our role in reducing our environmental impact. By refurbishing and reusing essential networking equipment, we are not only extending the lifespan of our devices but also minimizing landfill contributions, reducing our carbon footprint, and decreasing the need for new manufacturing processes that consume valuable resources.
Through this initiative, F & W Networks and Hey!Broadband ensures that all reused equipment undergoes rigorous testing, quality checks, and secure data erasure before being redeployed. Our customers can expect the same reliable performance while actively participating in an eco-conscious movement.
“At F & W Networks, sustainability is at the heart of our operations. Reusing routers and ONTs is just one of the many steps we’re taking to reduce our carbon footprint and support a circular economy,” said Xavier Balleste, Chief Operations Officer at F & W Networks.
Lourdes Saez, Chief Executive Officer at Hey! Broadband, supports this sustainability approach, stating, “We believe that small, meaningful changes in our industry can create a significant positive impact on the environment. By working together, we can drive sustainable practices that benefit both our customers and the environment.”
F & W Networks and Hey! Broadband invite customers and industry partners to join in supporting sustainability efforts. By embracing equipment reuse, we collectively take a step towards a cleaner, greener digital future.
