Reuse is the lever.
A new piece of network equipment carries the emissions of its making before it’s ever switched on. Each part you reuse, repair or redeploy instead of buying new avoids them, and the money too.
The hard part has never been the will to reuse. It’s knowing what you have, where it is, and what can safely replace what.
NetLife AI finds the decisions that cut carbon and cost together.
NetLife AI doesn’t calculate your carbon footprint. It finds the decisions that reduce it.
Reuse before purchase.
Matches new demand to equipment you already own, across your whole network, including drop-in equivalents.
Longer working life.
Flags the part models worth refurbishing and returning to service.
Surplus caught early.
Finds stock nobody needs while it can still be put to use.
Reference data for your reporting.
Our catalogue carries reuse and recycling emissions reference data for its parts, which you can use in your own reporting.
Do you calculate our carbon?
No. The savings come from reusing what you own before buying new, which avoids the emissions of making new equipment. Our catalogue carries emissions reference data for its parts, which you can use in your own reporting.
In a pilot with Safaricom, published by GSMA Foundry, GRiD part matching showed:
60%
less CO₂
62%
fewer part types to stock
55%
lower cost from reusing matched equivalent parts
