Electronics Recycling and the Circular Economy

Electronics Recycling and the Circular Economy

Introduction: From linear consumption to circularity

The traditional consumption model is linear: extract → produce → consume → discard.
Although this model sustained the global economy for decades, it is no longer viable given the scarcity of natural resources and the increase in electronic waste.

The circular economy proposes a different cycle: design durable products, reuse materials, recycle resources, and minimize waste.


The role of electronics recycling in the circular economy

Electronic waste is rich in valuable raw materials such as:

  • Copper

  • Aluminum

  • Engineering plastics

  • Gold and silver in boards and connectors

Recycling allows these materials to be recovered and reintroduced into the production chain, reducing the need for new mining activities and their environmental impact.


Benefits of electronics recycling for the circular economy

  1. Environmental

    • Reduction of waste sent to landfills.

    • Less soil and water contamination from heavy metals.

    • Decrease in carbon emissions.

  2. Economic

    • Generation of raw materials for industry.

    • Reduced costs from extraction and importation of inputs.

    • Creation of new sustainable business models.

  3. Social

    • Generation of formal and indirect jobs.

    • Digital inclusion through equipment reuse.

    • Environmental education and social awareness.

Circular economy as a strategic advantage for companies

  • Strengthened reputation in ESG reports.

  • Regulatory compliance with PNRS and international standards.

  • Connection with investors prioritizing sustainable businesses.


Conclusion: Recycling as the engine of circularity
