Electronics Sustainability Summit (eSummit)
iNEMI Panel: There’s No End to a Circle: How to Address Circularity Challenges in Electronics Manufacturing
Tuesday, October 22 / 9:00-10:00 a.m. CST
 
 
Mark Schaffer (iNEMI) will moderate this interactive panel session at the Electronics Sustainability Summit (eSummit). Circularity means that electronics manufacturers have systems and processes in place that address remanufacturing, recycling, reparability, reusability, upgradability, and resource efficiency. Solutions driven by industry will help enable efficient and effective adoption of circularity through the electronics manufacturing value chain.
 
If you plan to attend this year’s eSummit, please join us for an open discussion about what has been identified thus far as key challenges to, and opportunities for, implementing circular economy, and share with us the problems and solutions you are experiencing. This session is intended to be an interactive discussion to share knowledge about roadblocks and work to identify potential solutions.
