Program Management for Responsible Legacy Infrastructure Recovery

We coordinate vetted recovery, certified processing, secure logistics and qualified offtake to turn dormant copper networks into verifiable circular value—safely, transparently and at scale.

What We Do

GSI is a program manager for large-scale retirement of legacy telecom infrastructure—especially copper access networks—and the responsible return of materials to industry under one coherent, sustainability-first framework.

Coordinated Program Management

We coordinate vetted field recovery teams, certified processors, secure logistics, and qualified industrial buyers under one accountable program manager, replacing fragmented contractor models with consistent standards and documentation.

Safe & Orderly Retirement

Our role is to make legacy-network exit safe, orderly, and verifiably circular for all stakeholders involved, aligned with operator migration plans to avoid disrupting live services during transition.

Evidence-Based Stewardship

We provide transparent, evidence-based documentation with standardized records suitable for public reporting, including independent checks at agreed points for added confidence—without revealing proprietary systems.

Who We Serve

Our stakeholder-focused approach delivers tailored value across the telecommunications ecosystem

National Telecom Operators

Planning or executing copper switch-off and all-IP migration. We provide orderly, risk-aware retirement aligned with your migration plan, single point of accountability, and public-safe transparency for CSR/ESG reporting.

Industrial Buyers

Seeking reliable, certified secondary copper and responsible handling of by-products. We provide reliable supply with provenance and standardized records, plus quality pathways for plastics and ferrous materials.

Public Stakeholders & Communities

Expecting safety, compliance, and measurable circular outcomes. We ensure safety-first operations, measurable circular outcomes with traceable documentation, and environmental contributions supporting climate goals.

Our Green Strategy & Impact

GSI is built for the circular economy. Returning copper to productive use avoids the high energy and emissions intensity of primary copper production.

Materials Circularity

Maximize reuse where feasible and prioritize high-yield, high-quality recycling routes. Recycling copper typically requires ~85% less energy than primary production, cutting associated CO₂ emissions significantly.

Verified Stewardship

Ensure evidence-backed documentation and recognized environmental practices at each handling stage, providing stakeholders with traceable, plain-language proof of responsible outcomes.

Accelerated Digital Transition

Help accelerate upgrades to more energy-efficient digital networks (fiber and IP), supporting national connectivity and sustainability goals. Fiber access is the most energy-efficient fixed-broadband technology.

Why This Matters Now

Telecom operators worldwide are retiring legacy copper as they migrate to digital voice and IP services, creating unprecedented opportunities for responsible recovery.

UK PSTN Switch-off

The UK's analogue Public Switched Telephone Network is scheduled to switch off on 31 January 2027, marking a clear direction of travel for mature markets toward all-IP networks.

Industry Guidance

The GSMA publishes guidance to help operators plan 2G/3G sunsets in ways that mitigate service risk, reinforcing the need for organized, responsible decommissioning programs.

Proven Market Demand

Public examples of operators partnering with specialist recyclers (e.g., BT/Openreach with EMR) demonstrate strong industrial demand for certified secondary copper and the maturing recovery ecosystem.

Our Approach

What sets GSI apart from common industry practices

1

One Accountable Manager

End-to-end consistency and clearer responsibility versus fragmented local contracting

2

Evidence-Based Documentation

Condition notes, location/time stamps, standardized records suitable for public reporting

3

Independent Assurance

Third-party checks at agreed milestones for added confidence without internal exposure

4

Data-Informed Sequencing

Optimize safety, yield and environmental outcomes through strategic prioritization

Program Assurances

Our commitments to responsible operations and stakeholder confidence

No Live-Network Interference

Activities align with operator-approved migration plans and safety criteria to avoid disrupting live services during transition.

Responsible Handling, Verifiable

Standardized, plain-language records and agreed assurance points provide accountability while keeping proprietary methods private.

Confidential by Design

No publication of pricing, contracts, internal systems, or financial arrangements. Public communications cover safety, sustainability goals and circular outcomes only.

Sustainability-First

Preference for processors and practices with recognized environmental credentials, supporting national and international climate commitments.
