50 million tonnes of electronics were discarded in 2016. This is expected to increase by 17% by 2021. We need a circular approach to our electronic devices. 🌍💻 Try remanufactured. #CircularEconomy #Remanufactured #BeatPollution #ElectronicWaste

We need more transparency in the supply chains of our beloved smartphones and gadgets. We’ll be working with industry and governments to explore how to put a stop to these terrible practices theguardian.com/environment/20…
