BNS supports T-Mobile in waste stream processing in circular entrepreneurship. The plastic from old modems is processed into raw material for new products. BNS is proud to have earned a prominent mention in T-Mobile’s annual sustainability report.
T-Mobile
For example, BNS has been putting together T-Mobile’s Internet packages for years. Because we send these and take care of the return flow, there is an intensive consultation structure. We found out that the mechanics encountered a challenge in the assembly of the new bracket / wall bracket for the media converter. The assembly turned out to take quite a bit of time in practice. T-Mobile asked BNS to help in the development of a new product.
BNS processes a consistent discharge flow of plastic residual material (e.g. fronts, caps and caps) from the return flow and refurbishment services for T-Mobile. That is why we were looking for a safe and responsible way to minimize this value destruction. Reusing the material, and thus returning plastic residual material to a raw material, is an essential step in this. By implementing these principles in the production process, we limit damage to people and the environment. Because fewer fossil raw materials are needed to recycle waste streams than to make new products. In this way we not only save on costs but also on energy and CO2 emissions.
Orange plastics
In collaboration with Orange plastics, BNS was looking for a solution. An innovative design was the solution in which we used residual material from T-Mobile’s refurbishment process for a clickable wall bracket. Orange Plastics seamlessly converted the stock of residual material into an injection mouldable 3D design. They helped assess feasibility, and pointed out areas for improvement. After a 1st test spraying, T-Mobile decided to immediately continue with this new wall bracket for mounting their media converter.
Cost savings
By working with the residual material of T-Mobile, a huge cost saving is created. There are no more disposal costs for waste products and the use of our own material results in a reduction in production costs. For example, the assembly time, before assembly, was drastically reduced. In this way, T-Mobile not only saves costs on production but also delivers a better service and significantly shortens assembly times.
