Netgear goes Green with Thiess Services

Any customer purchasing a new Netgear product can send their old product – irrespective of brand – to the vendor's recycling service.

Ryan Parker, Managing Director, Netgear Australia, said, the program is being run in conjunction with Thiess Services, an Australian waste management organisation.

“How many times have you read about a ‘green’ initiative that was full of promises but very little action?” asks Parker.

“Well, this is a green initiative that’s actually worth talking about.

“Working with Thiess Services, we’ve been able to remove one of the main barriers to inaction when it comes to responsible recycling – cost.”

Parker claimed there was no catch - the recycled equipment doesn’t even have to be Netgear-branded.

“The only qualification is a new Netgear purchase to replace the old equipment, and we do the rest,” he said.

Netgear Green, has pledged to monitor the volume and composition of recycled equipment and report back to the community on the benefit to the environment, said Parker.
