Circular Electronics
We generate over 62 million tonnes of e-waste globally each year – enough to circle the Earth almost five times
Electronics have transformed the way we live and work.
Circularity isn’t the end goal, but rather a pivotal route towards the broader aim of enhancing human and planetary welfare, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. It’s imperative to keep this guiding principle in sight and navigate the transition towards circularity accordingly, ensuring a harmonious and beneficial outcome.
