Creating a Circular Economy in ICT

E-waste production is growing three times faster than the global population, with electronics projected to contribute 14% of annual carbon emissions by 2040.

This white paper highlights the importance of shifting from a linear to a circular economy, offering data-driven insights and practical strategies for your organization to make meaningful changes and to benefit from IT asset and e-waste management to contribute to a circular economy. 

In this white paper you can discover:

• What the traditional linear economy model looks like. The "take-make-waste" approach, where materials are extracted, used, and discarded, and why this is not the best approach

• Full range of statistics on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and e-waste

  Why E-waste management is important to address today

• What the circular economy model is and why we need it

• Understand the principles of the circular economy, which focuses on reusing, repairing, and recycling products to extend their value while reducing waste and emissions

• How your organization can differentiate by sustainably and ethically managing their IT infrastructure through IT asset repairability and resource recovery and enables you to reduce costs, align with global sustainability goals, and showcase leadership in responsible resource management

• Real-world examples of circular economy initiatives in action

• Discover how innovative recycling techniques, like those applied to lithium batteries, extract valuable materials such as cobalt and lithium for reuse, closing the loop on e-waste recycling
