At Recent Communications, Inc., we know the importance of educating organizations on the benefits of moving to the latest and greatest technology and communications solutions, especially when it comes to business phone systems. With technology hardware upgrades and changes comes decisions on what to do with those outdated solutions.
According to the EPA, only 12.5% of e-waste is responsibly recycled. What’s e-waste you ask? E-waste is an informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life."
Along with traditional style desk phones, there are an increasing number of businesses and organizations opting for softphones and mobile apps to run their business phone communications. Whether due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and mandated ‘work from home’ orders, multiple office locations, and dispersed staff working remotely, these software-based technology tools are not only providing seamless communications, but are more energy efficient.
