Webinar Overview

Last year the European Commission issued its Circular Economy Action Plan, which prioritizes electronics and “ICT”, or information and communications technology. Later this year the Commission will publish a “Circular Electronics Initiative” (CEI). In the meantime some in the industry have responded with the Circular Electronics Partnership.

The Commission has, of course, not been waiting to implement circularity-driven obligations on the electronics industry either.

This webinar covers:

The history, drivers and studies that may inform the CEI
What manufacturers can do to prepare for the circularization of their products
