Last week NSYS attended Circular Markets 2026 in London — a one‑day event bringing together telecom and circular economy professionals to exchange ideas, explore trends, and discuss the future of the secondary device market. The agenda covered topics like refurbishment economics, trade‑in strategies, marketplaces, and the role of AI and robotics in scaling circular practices.
The vibe throughout the day was practical and forward-looking: participants debated how to make circular business models commercially viable, compliant, and scalable across regions. Key discussions focused on building efficient trade‑in programmes, creating value from refurbishment, and leveraging marketplaces to unlock new revenue streams.
Mary Goryachev, COO of NSYS, reflected:
What struck me most was the depth of discussion on real operational challenges — from building efficient trade‑in programmes to leveraging data and automation for refurbishment. These are not abstract ideas anymore; they are key business levers that companies are actively implementing.
Gregory Glazman, CEO of NSYS, added:
It was energising to engage with peers who are driving circular practices forward. The panels highlighted how collaboration — across operators, refurbishers, and marketplaces — is central to building a resilient circular ecosystem. We came away with concrete takeaways and new perspectives that will inform our roadmap.
A special thank you to CCS Insight for organising such an insightful and engaging event.
