Scaling
Circularity
from Pilot to
Global Platform
Reconext, in close cooperation with Cisco's channel partner base, proposes a global expansion of the ATEA circularity pilot — supporting Cisco's success during the $80B AI technology migration by transforming end-of-use hardware into renewed value for Cisco's customers, both direct and via channel partners, across 18 facilities in three regions — The Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
The Animated Pitch
A 2-minute overview of the Reconext x Cisco circularity partnership opportunity.
The $80B Circular Opportunity
As Cisco navigates an unprecedented $80B AI technology migration, millions of units of networking equipment across enterprise campuses, branch offices, and data centers are being refreshed. For Cisco's full customer base — direct and via its channel partners — the gap between decommission and maximum value recovery represents a massive opportunity.
Reconext, in close cooperation with Cisco's channel partner base, is purpose-built to close that gap. With 17 facilities across 4 continents, ISO-certified security, and AI-driven lifecycle optimization, we serve Cisco's entire customer ecosystem — transforming end-of-use into beginning-of-value.

The ATEA Pilot: Proven at Scale
In partnership with Atea and Cisco CX, Reconext deployed a full lifecycle circularity model serving Cisco's direct customers and channel partners across European markets — and the results speak for themselves.
End-to-End Lifecycle
From decommission through data erasure, testing, refurbishment, and remarketing — a single integrated pipeline.
Sustainability Reporting
Comprehensive environmental impact tracking: CO2 avoided, energy saved, materials recovered, water conserved.
Revenue Recovery
Maximized residual value through AI-optimized harvest-vs-whole-unit decisions and global channel monetization.
Measurable ESG Impact
CO2 emissions avoided annually
Energy saved through refurbishment vs. new manufacturing
Water conserved in the production cycle
E-waste diverted from landfill
AI-Powered Circularity Intelligence
Agentic AI Orchestration
Our AI agents autonomously manage every circularity decision — from BOM-level harvest analysis to optimal channel routing — in real time across all 17 facilities.
Network Telemetry Integration
Presented at Big@AI at MIT CSAIL: using network telemetry data to predict optimal decommission timing and maximize circularity outcomes before equipment reaches end-of-use.
Managed Services Platform Connector
Upcoming OCP presentation: connecting TPM and managed services platforms directly to Reconext's Agentic AI, making circularity a core design feature — not a separate initiative.
Predictive Value Optimization
Machine learning models trained on millions of historical transactions to predict residual value, optimal refurbishment paths, and global demand signals for every SKU.
Zero-Gap Chain of Custody
Every piece of Cisco equipment that enters a Reconext facility is tracked from dock to disposition. Our security protocols meet and exceed the standards required by the world's most security-conscious enterprises.

The Global Expansion Roadmap
European Expansion
Q3 2026Scale the Atea model to 5 additional European markets — serving Cisco's direct customers and channel partners. Integrate Cisco CX lifecycle services across all Reconext EU facilities.
North America Rollout
Q1 2027Deploy full circularity pipeline across US and Mexico facilities in close cooperation with Cisco's channel partner base. Support the $80B AI migration refresh cycle.
Asia-Pacific Coverage
Q3 2027Activate APAC facilities for Cisco hardware from direct customers and channel partners. Complete global coverage with unified AI orchestration.
Full Platform Integration
Q1 2028Agentic AI fully integrated with Cisco managed services and channel partner platforms. Circularity-as-a-feature across the entire Cisco hardware lifecycle.
Circularity is Profitable
As the $80B AI technology migration drives unprecedented hardware refresh cycles across Cisco's customer base, the economic case for circularity at scale is compelling — for Cisco, for channel partners, and for the planet.
Revenue Recovery
AI-optimized harvest decisions maximize residual value. Global remarketing channels ensure best-price realization for every component.
Cost Avoidance
Reduced disposal costs, lower new-material procurement, and compliance cost reduction through certified processes.
ESG Value Creation
Measurable sustainability metrics that directly support Cisco's ESG reporting, investor relations, and regulatory compliance.
Reconext × Cisco
Reconext, in close cooperation with Cisco's channel partner base, is ready to support Cisco's success during the $80B AI technology migration. Let's build the circular future — together — serving Cisco's full customer base, direct and via channel partners.
