Electronics

In 2022, Europe generated approximately 5 million tons of electronic waste, equating to about 11.2 kilograms per person. Of this, only 42.5% was formally collected and recycled, leaving a significant portion potentially ending up in landfills or improperly managed.

During this webinar, Louise Eriksson and Riccardo Paccaloni from Stena Circular Consulting, explain how recycling of electronics works in Europe, why certain theoretically recyclable materials are not recycled in practice, what defines recyclability, and the impact of product design.
