Networked Solutions for the Electronics Industry
The consumer electronics industry is faced with an unsustainable dependence on non-renewable resources; and an inability to manage and recycle increasing volumes of electronic waste. While policy makers, civil society, and industry work to address these problems they remain unsolved.
Global Solution Networks offer the potential to overcome the persistent obstacles that prevent further progress on these issues—by strengthening collaboration between and amongst organizations working on these issues and by establishing multi-stakeholder groups dedicated to producing sustainable knowledge, delivering alternative products, advocating to the consumer, providing coordination, facilitating policy discussions, establishing standards and identifying laggards.
