How can businesses create a circular economy for electronics of all kinds? What are the challenges and benefits of doing so? And how are policies affecting the e-waste changing? This downloadable guide answers all these questions and more.

The guide provides best-practice advice, up-to-date facts and stats, case studies from businesses leading the transition to a closed-loop system for electronics and links to in-depth features.

It also features an exclusive, in-depth case study contributed by ERP UK. This feature explores how the organisation is working with HP – one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment – to improve take-back schemes, sustainable sourcing practices and compliance with waste requirements.

“As the quantity of electronic products increases, so does the challenge of responsibly managing their impact at every stage of the life cycle – from sourcing the raw materials to design, manufacture, usage, to reuse and recycling at end of life,” ERP UK’s managing director John Redmayne said.
