MatKon Refurbish

We help network equipment manufacturers
and operators reuse their product

We combine our technical, logistical and environmental knowledge, to make sure network-equipment is refurbished as much as possible in order to reduce the need for new equipment. Through our local closed loop, we make sure that the plastic from outgoing products are saved and upcycled into new products.

What we do

Fixed return address

We provide a local hub for daily income of used equipment, categorize, register and report back.

Refurbish

Reconfiguration, test and cosmetic refurbish is done by us with two matters in mind: what is the esthetic demand of the end-user and how to discard as little as possible. A balance between the two matters is central in our work.

Central hub/warehouse

The efficiency of your entire logistics set-up, should be measured not by how much volume you acquire, but how little you actually need without compromising output. During the last 10 years, MatKon have developed ways to improve the generally wasteful approach to usage of space, materials and transport.

Upcycle/recycle

Our first priority will always be to reuse that which can be reused, within a locally closed loop. If this is not possible, we will make sure the raw materials used in a given product, are upcycled into new products locally. Last resort is recycling, where the outgoing material is sent to the nearest recycle center.

How we do it

Collaboration

We work with our clients in procurement set-ups made for long-term effect. Since 2009 this approach of common forward thinking and giving each other space to critical inquire in every aspect of the collaboration, has enabled our clients and ourselves to create cost efficiency and environmental improvement.

Environment

Our clients know from the beginning of any collaboration that we set impact first. In any long-term set-up there will be ambitious common goals. MatKon Refurbish delivers the most basic in this context: a local closed loop, both for refurbishment as well as the raw material from the discarded network equipment – for example, we´re upcycling the plastics into new products.

Savings and earnings

In our way of thinking, the only savings and earnings with inherent value to us, our clients and the world around us is when we achieve more with less, meaning that the end consumer experiences the full satisfaction from the end product, and our clients using less resources and time delivering it.

Reuse what can be reused – this simple yet vitally important principle remains a cornerstone in our way of doing business. During the last 10 years we have put all our efforts to create a locally closed loop, which would allow to prolong the life cycle of most of the physical products that end up in Matkon, as well as reduce (and eliminate in a longer perspective) the waste.
