🚀 The Circular Electronics Design Guide is live! This comprehensive resource is designed to empower businesses in the electronics sector to transition toward a sustainable, circular economy.   💡 Why this matters: The electronics industry is under increasing pressure to become circular, but many organizations lack the holistic view, practical tools, and enabling conditions to navigate the transition with confidence. This is why the Circular Electronics Partnership partnered with the Circular Design Forum, supported by Accenture, to create an actionable guide by practitioners for practitioners. The comprehensive resource equips and empowers professionals in their circular design journey. 🔎 What’s inside:   🔹 Circular Innovation Blueprint: Navigate the Circular Innovation Process Blueprint, a four-step process—Enable, Frame, Plan, and Implement—that helps you map and achieve circularity goals within your organization. 🔹Transition Map: Use the practical Transition Map to prioritize and scale circular initiatives taking into consideration the organizational, product, and ecosystem timelines. 🔹Industry Insights: Learn from real-world examples and case studies from leading companies who have successfully navigated circular transitions. 🔹 Actionable Tools: Get equipped with tools to integrate circular strategies across repair, refurbishment, and recycling into your product lifecycle, creating sustainable value propositions. Whether you’re a designer, business leader, or supply chain specialist, the CEDG offers actionable strategies to help you lead the transition to circular electronics.   📘 Ready to explore?

🌍 Today is lnternational #EWasteDay! 🌍 Did you know that every year the world generates over 62 million tonnes of e-waste, and only 22% of it is formally recycled? This alarming figure underscores the urgent need to tackle e-waste and transition toward a #CircularEconomy for electronics. 💻📱🔋 At the Circular Electronics Partnership (CEP), we are working with leading companies and organizations across the electronics value chain to address this global challenge. Together, we are removing the systemic barriers for the industry to adopt and scale best practices and transition to a circular economy. Some of the ways we're making an impact: 🔄 Driving industry-wide collaboration to design products that last longer and can be more easily repaired, reused, or recycled. 🌱 Driving demand for circular products and services through the power of procurement ✅ Helping companies scale responsible business models and secondary material markets 🚚 Fostering innovative approaches to increasing the official collection rate of electronics 📢 Advocating for international regulation that enables the aggregation of electronics for reuse and recycling. Let's continue working together to turn the tide on e-waste.

Two days into Climate Week NYC, the conversation around progress has quickly pivoted to the importance of collaboration. The Circular Electronics Partnership contributed to the Global Electronics Council-hosted discussion to define and explore how to achieve 100% sustainable technology by 2050, while the WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development workshopped how to guide sectors in the transition away from carbon-based chemicals and feedstocks. Some key takeaways from both discussions as they relate to the electronics sector and the progress on the CEP’s Circular Electronics Roadmap: --The journey to sustainable technology should consider circular principles as a holistic framework that can help address multiple challenges. --Social value, both in terms of decent work and the benefits of technology itself, should be part of circular and sustainable technology discussions and initiatives to ensure a just transition. --We need to foster collaboration and alignment of existing frameworks and roadmaps to accelerate progress by the industry. --Collaboration across sectors, aligned to common stakeholders and needs, is a viable path towards action

How can trade and investment accelerate the shift to a circular electronics industry? 🌐📱 The electronics industry is one of the most globalized, yet significant challenges remain in developing reverse supply chains and ensuring safe, responsible international trade to support the refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling of electronics. Learn about the smart trade and investment solutions that can enable circularity in the sector from five experts from the World Economic Forum's Circular Trade Community, including CEP members Cisco and Amazon Web Services (AWS).  👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/et8vJvij
