During IERC 2022, in the workshop dedicated to the Green Deal, associations representing the whole range of electronics recycling industries hammered out a joint position paper to be delivered to the European Commission, containing detailed and practical recommendations to ensure the ambitious and workable implementation of the Green Deal for the whole electronics recycling sector Europe-wide.
The keynote speakers, both from the US, each caused a sensation with their straight-talking, practical approaches to electronics recycling. Adam Minter, Bloomberg columnist and author argued that we should think in bigger terms about what recycling means and preserve the recycling economies we already have. Nancy Gillis of the Global Electronics Council observed that the Basel Convention is designed to make the linear economy more sustainable not to make the economy circular.
Plastics recycling, one of the most current industrial recycling themes was debated in a special session organized by BSEF, the International Bromine Council. The conclusions of these discussions will be published at a later date.
IERC 2022 inaugurated a new interactive tool for delegates to help them network better on site.
