Circular Economy and E-Waste
Apple and industry experts met to discuss how to better recycle electronic waste and recover valuable materials. Because the main recycling company is private, everyday investors can look at large technology companies and recycling funds instead.
What changed
A high-profile roundtable co-hosted by Apple focused on scaling electronic waste recovery and secondary material supply chains.
Who wins / who loses
Technology hardware makers focusing on circular supply chains benefit from secure secondary materials, while those lagging in recycling infrastructure face rising raw material risks.
Time horizon
Think in terms of the next few months.
