Circularity doesn’t happen by accident. It depends on the infrastructure and technology capable of keeping millions of products moving safely through multiple lifecycles.

Few organisations have been building that infrastructure for longer than Reconext. With roots dating back to 1983 and strengthened through the merger of Teleplan and Clover Wireless in 2020, the business has evolved into one of the world’s leading technology lifecycle solutions providers, operating more than 20 facilities across 14 countries.

Reconext helps manufacturers, OEMs, network operators, retailers, insurers and enterprise organisations recover greater value from returned and retired technology through globally integrated lifecycle solutions spanning reverse logistics, refurbishment, IT asset disposition, value recovery and data centre decommissioning.

Reconext’s competitive advantage isn’t built on scale alone. It’s built on proprietary technology that underpins every stage of the electronics lifecycle.

Proprietary platforms including Rackwipe, Proteus, Optiline and SpectrumX, together with the Clarity reporting platform, give customers deeper operational visibility while enabling more intelligent, data-driven lifecycle decisions.

That capability continues to evolve through Reconext’s Factory of the Future programme, combining automation, intelligent diagnostics and standardised global processes to improve efficiency, consistency and value recovery across the electronics lifecycle.

Recent innovations include a fully automated laptop processing solution that streamlines receiving, grading and repair while reducing manual intervention and increasing throughput.

Reconext’s capabilities are demonstrated not only by the volume of devices it processes, but by the complexity of the environments it supports.

In 2025, Reconext completed a major data centre decommissioning project for a global technology organisation, securely processing more than 2,500 NVIDIA GPU servers alongside 17,000 storage drives, protecting sensitive data while maximising asset recovery.

Reconext is also working with MIDAS Immersion Cooling to give retired enterprise servers a second life in immersion cooling infrastructure, while its operational excellence has been recognised with Cisco’s 2024 Excellence in Logistics Award.

The next phase of Reconext’s growth is centred on four strategic priorities:

✅ Strengthening its position as a recognised leader in sustainable circularity
✅ Becoming the partner of choice for global organisations seeking a trusted circularity partner
✅ Delivering full vertical-ecosystem technology solutions built on proprietary Reconext IP and integrated with its Clarity reporting platform
✅ Expanding its market presence across the Asia-Pacific region

As CEO Shahriyar Rahmati recently commented:

From consumer devices to hyperscale data centres, Reconext is helping some of the world’s leading technology organisations recover more value, protect critical data and build more circular technology ecosystems.
