What is the Circular Economy?

The circular economy is a shift away from the linear “take-make-waste” model toward a more sustainable approach that keeps IT assets in use for as long as possible.

Traditional IT Disposal Model:

Extracts raw materials
Produces devices
Uses them briefly
Dumps them as e-waste

Circular IT Economy Model:

Extends product life
Repurposes & resells assets
Recycles non-reusable materials
Reduces demand for new raw materials
