E-waste and the circular economy

In a world of finite resources, ever-increasing quantities of electronics are required to support the development of digital technologies and the energy transition.

The Elandscape4Sustainability workshop is a collaborative, fun and educational workshop developed to raise awareness of the diversity of electronics and the complexity of the environmental, societal, economic and strategic challenges they create.

This inclusive workshop is aimed at everyone who wishes to exchange ideas, understand, and consider what we can each personally do to help the development ofmmore sustainable electronics.

Organise the electronics lifecycle,linking it to its impacts in diverse applications: everyday consumer products, connected devices, computing, embedded electronics (vehicles, computers etc.), energy transition (power, electronics etc.), critical systems (transportation systems etc.), robotics, and more.

Understand systemic interdependencies and challenges(technical, regulatory, economic, social, geopolitical factors, etc.).

Acquire the fundamental principles of the circular economy to assess the levers and barriers to reducing its impacts.

Broaden one's perspective through exchange and sharing to enhance the ability to make informed choices for greater sustainability in electronics.
