The energy, climate, and resource challenges facing the planet demand that we urgently change how we see and interact with the world. This, in turn, requires a paradigm shift in many areas that have a special impact, such as telecommunications infrastructure. For lyntia, the transition to a circular economy is a strategic lever for efficiency, value creation, and long-term innovation. 

The circular economy in telecommunications: What is it? 

Of course, the concept of a circular economy transcends mere recycling. In the field of telecommunications, it means integrating sustainability from the outset. It is a holistic approach that covers everything from network planning and asset lifecycle management to the efficient operation of each component. This model redefines the concept of waste to turn it into a resource. The key principles include: 

• Optimisation of shared infrastructure: Promoting the use of neutral networks reduces the need for new deployments, minimising material consumption and land occupation. 

• Reduction of energy consumption: Efficiency in operations is fundamental. It involves modernising equipment to consume less and optimising cooling systems. 

• Minimisation of environmental impact: The aim is to reduce the ecological footprint throughout the entire lifecycle, from the manufacturing of components to their eventual dismantling and reuse. 

The circular economy in lyntia’s ESG strategy 

lyntia’s ESG policy is the framework that guides our commitment to a more sustainable future. The circular economy is a cross-cutting pillar of this strategy, which materialises in concrete actions: 

• Energy efficiency and sustainable infrastructure 

We are constantly modernising our nodes, technical centres, and climate control systems. The objective is clear: to reduce energy consumption, which aligns directly with our goals of decreasing Scope 1 and 2 emissions and contributes to the fight against climate change. 

• Responsible waste and material management 

At lyntia, we collaborate with our suppliers to ensure compliance with waste management regulations, maintaining proper tracking from generation to final treatment. 

• Responsible procurement and circularity in the supply chain 

We promote a responsible supply chain, conducting an annual follow-up of our suppliers to ensure they meet our ESG criteria. We prioritise equipment that stands out for its durability, modularity, and ease of recycling, promoting a virtuous circle of sustainability. 

Circularity at lyntia is synonymous with commitment, but also with ambition 

We look towards the future with ambitious goals. In 2025, we plan to implement the ISO 14001, 26000, and 45001 standards, reinforcing our environmental management and social responsibility system. The circular economy is a key piece in this journey, as every action of reuse and efficiency brings us closer to our climate goals. 

Ultimately, the circular economy is a structural element in lyntia’s strategy. As a key player in the wholesale telecommunications sector in Spain, we are committed to a resilient, efficient, and sustainable model that transforms environmental challenges into opportunities for innovation and commitment.
