WCIT Hybrid Event – “Towards a circular economy in the IT industry”

November 6, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

£15

Join the IT & Climate Change Group at this Hybrid event for an insight into how the IT industry is transitioning from a linear take-make-throw process to a more circular economy that mitigates its impact on the environment and the climate.

Electronic waste (or e-waste) is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world, and the UK generates the second-highest amount of e-waste per capita in the world, at 23.9 kg/person. e-waste contains precious metals and rare earth materials that can be recovered and fed back into the supply chain. However, many IT assets are now being remanufactured and repurposed for extended life, providing a valuable source of lower-cost computing for SMEs, nonprofits, and charities.

How many old technology items like mobile devices, laptops, and accessories do you have lying around unused in drawers?
