The subscription of mobile phones offers numerous advantages for companies, regardless of the segment. In addition to the reduction of operational costs and the ease of management, this model becomes a much more sustainable choice for the business, since it extends the lifespan of smartphones and helps reduce the improper disposal of electronic devices
According to the UN report, 62 million tons of electronic waste were discarded in 2022 — more than 7,7 kg for each person on Earth — and less than a quarter of that was recycled. At this pace, the forecast is that this volume will increase by 33% by 2030, what could further aggravate the environmental problems related to electronic waste
Circular economy
The subscription model promotes the circular economy by facilitating the recycling and renewal of devices, prolonging its lifespan and reducing the need for manufacturing new phones. The service includes an integrated logistics for collection and recycling, ensuring that smartphones are returned and reused after the renewal process
By choosing this service, companies contribute directly to the reduction of improper disposal of used equipment, what can be a considerable impact when we talk about ESG goals (Environmental, Social and Governance, especially regarding ecological issues. In the social aspect, ensures equal access to advanced technologies and improves working conditions by providing appropriate equipment for employees. Already in the aspect of governance, allows for more effective control of costs and the life cycle of phones, cooperating for a more conscious and ethical financial management. Thus, choosing the subscription reinforces the company's commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility
Cost reduction and scalability
In the operational aspect, the subscription model offers significant savings on initial costs, for eliminating expenses with the purchase of cell phones. In this way, the company has a predictable monthly cost that includes maintenance and update services, ensuring that the phones are always updated and in perfect condition
Another advantage is that the plans are flexible, allowing companies to quickly increase or decrease the number of devices according to demand, without compromising investments or dealing with obsolescence. Also, this scalability ensures that employees have access to more modern technologies tailored to their needs
Favorable scenario
Despite the challenges related to the lack of knowledge about proper disposal and collection logistics, the future of mobile phone subscription business plans is promising. As organizations become more aware of their ecological impacts and seek more efficient operational and financial solutions, this model will emerge as an increasingly advantageous and responsible choice
