The cycling back of desks, chairs and other items has resulted in 135,205 kilograms of carbon savings. With 100% of all materials being re-used, none of the furniture or equipment that TD SYNNEX has recycled will go to landfill. Kevin Wragg, Director of Environment and Quality Compliance, said: “Just as we did when refurbishing the Bracknell site, when we moved the Basingstoke office, we wanted to make sure we stood by our commitment to sustainability and reduce, re-use and recycle any unwanted furniture and equipment. We’re delighted that we’ve been able to do so much and send everything – through Waste to Wonder – to places where we are certain they will be put to good use.” https://uk.tdsynnex.com/ Bytes to collaborate with AWS IT services and digital transformation services provider Bytes has announced a strategic collaboration agreement with AWS which will see both companies collaborate to address the demand for cloud migration, modernisation and cloud security services in the UK and Ireland region across both commercial and public sector organisations.
