Data Recycling, a key solution of “Ready to Vote”
The Solar Impulse Foundation recently highlighted the Data Recycling® solution by [Systnaps](/) as part of the Swiss “Ready to Vote” initiative. The project aims to guide the modernisation of the Swiss legal and regulatory framework by drawing on clean technologies, in order to enable a successful green transition.
The “Ready to Vote” initiative, launched by Bertrand Piccard and the Solar Impulse Foundation, focuses on adopting solutions that exist today to address environmental, energy and economic concerns. Among the legislative proposals, Data Recycling® by Systnaps targets the reduction of the environmental footprint of data storage and processing in large companies.
The Data Recycling® solution matches that ambition perfectly through its M4R® approach (Map, Regulate, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). This innovative method manages data in an ecological and responsible way through several key steps:
MAP: in under a week, our tool automatically maps stored data, making it understandable and accessible.
REGULATE: ensure compliance with every standard and regulation applicable to your data.
REDUCE: cut the volume of dark data and ROT data (Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial), along with the risk to individuals and the risk of non-compliance.
REUSE: easily reuse and share data from estates under control, to avoid pointless re-collection or duplication.
RECYCLE: store data in progressively less energy-hungry tiers according to how available it needs to be. Delete useless data. Give data a second life (a later purpose). Track environmental impact data across the whole lifecycle of the asset.
This M4R approach promotes intelligent data management, improves information system performance and helps companies reduce their carbon footprint. By eliminating dark data and optimising storage infrastructure, the Data Recycling® solution delivers significant energy and cost savings while supporting environmental sustainability goals.
By embedding these practices in objective agreements with the Swiss Confederation or the cantons, companies can make an effective contribution to the green transition and to the sustainable development of the digital economy in Switzerland.
