We support the approach in this paper and recognise the need to collaborate across the ICT industry to address the rising e-waste challenge. We can achieve this by working together to create products, networks and operations based on the circular economy model including the redesign, re-use and recycling of devices, hardware and their packaging. Collaboration is essential if we are to reach the world’s sustainability goals. Working across the value chain is key to moving the needle quickly on circular practices and climate change. Nokia has more than 25 years of implementing well-established circular practices to reduce waste, increase reuse and recycling and refurbishing for new use. Nokia continues to contribute to telecommunication-specific circular economy standards in the ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication standardization sector) and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute).Gabrielle Ginér Head of Environmental Sustainability, BTPia Tanskanen Head of Environment, NokiaKatie Schindall Head of Circular Economy, Cisco SystemsAdvancing a circular economy is critical both to preserving limited natural resources and to meeting our goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. We must eliminate the concept of waste and drive business models powered by digital technology — transforming our own business and more importantly also supporting others who are looking to achieve their own circular economy and sustainability commitments. We are working to integrate circular principles at every stage of the product lifecycle: from how we design our products through to how we facilitate their return and reuse. The circular economy and circular business models play a major role in DT´s drive to becoming ful
