iNEMI’s Eco-Design for Circular Electronics Economy was a series of six interactive webinars featuring experts from leading organizations that are doing innovative/beyond-compliance eco-design work. The series provided an avenue for eco-design leaders to showcase their thought processes, strategies, successes and failures. The goal was to capture the best and most innovative practices being used today and to highlight the processes these leaders follow to determine where to focus their eco-design efforts.
