Closing the Loop on E-waste Management

An increasing number of smartphone OEMs are now approaching
sustainability by removing plastic from packaging, using more
recycled materials, and making the devices more repairable. But
have you ever wondered what happens to these devices once they
reach the end of their useful life?


We now live in a circular economy where the focus is on reducing
waste by repairing and reusing smartphones and components. As we
celebrate Global Recycling Day today (March 18), let us discuss
e-waste management. Companies like Closing the Loop offer an
e-waste recycling service called waste compensation. The approach
is simple – for every new device added to the market, you collect
one end-of-life device which is then properly recycled.

In the latest episode of ‘The Counterpoint Podcast’, host
Jan Stryjak is joined by Andrea Scholz, Senior
Sustainability Manager in the Consumer Business Unit at Vodafone
Germany, and Joost de Kluijver, Founder and Director at
Closing the Loop, to discuss how Vodafone Germany and Closing the
Loop are working together on a one-for-one program, e-waste
management and much more.
