Circular Economy – $ Billion Opportunity being overlooked!
Circular Economy is essentially an approach where all materials & components are kept at their highest value at all times & waste is designed out of the process. Product as a service, Asset sharing, Life Extension & Recycling (1) all achieve this.
What is the economic value of e-waste?
E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream in the world.(2)
- 1.46 Billion smartphones sold in 2017
- ~ $110 component value per phone in retail
- Raw material recycling = ~ $11.5B in cost savings (3)

Current forecasts indicate there will be approximately $62.5 Billion in E-waste annually.
A number higher than the GDP of most countries! Moving to the circular economy approach is the key to drastically cutting out e-waste and impacting your business bottom line!
