    The Problem

    The Hidden Costs of Device Sprawl

    Traditional business communications are creating unnecessary waste and undermining sustainability efforts:

    • Redundant hardware — issuing desk phones and second mobile devices to employees who already have powerful personal tech
    • Increasing e-waste burden — the continuous cycle of manufacturing, shipping, and disposing of short-lived business devices
    • Operational inefficiencies — managing separate inventories, repairs, and lifecycles for business-specific hardware
    • Unnecessary carbon footprint — every additional device contributes to emissions from production to disposal

    These practices are not only costly but also contradict modern corporate commitments to environmental responsibility and cost reduction.

    The Impact

    Wasteful Spending, Environmental Harm

    The reliance on multiple devices for business communications has a significant, negative impact:

    • £150–£300 per desk phone in procurement, installation, and maintenance costs annually
    • 80kg CO₂ produced manufacturing just one smartphone, multiplied across millions of unnecessary devices
    • 500 million kilograms of e-waste generated every year in the UK, much of it corporate equipment
    • 50% of IT budgets spent on hardware, much of which could be consolidated or eliminated

    Businesses are under pressure to achieve net-zero targets and optimise spending. Current communication setups often hinder both objectives.

    The Solution

    Sustainability Through Simplicity

    Tango Extend streamlines business communications, enabling significant environmental and financial savings:

    • Eliminate desk phones — use employees' existing mobile devices for all calls, with professional business features

    • No second business mobiles — a dedicated business identity is added to personal phones via secure eSIM technology

    • Drastically reduce hardware waste — fewer devices mean less production, less packaging, and less e-waste

    • Lower carbon emissions — directly reduce your organisational carbon footprint by cutting down device procurement

    • Enhance ESG reporting — demonstrably improve sustainability metrics with tangible reductions in device energy and waste

    The Proof

    Proven Reductions in Waste and Cost

    Use Case: Global Financial Services Firm

    A leading financial institution transitioned 8,000 employees to Tango Extend, removing all desk phones and second business mobiles. This resulted in an estimated £3.5 million annual saving and a reduction of over 640 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent from eliminated hardware and associated energy consumption.

    Key Statistics

    • Average 30-45% reduction in overall communications hardware spend
    • £200–£400 saved per user per year by eliminating desk phones and second mobiles
    • 75% less e-waste generated from business communication devices annually
