Net Zero Strategy
The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) findings stress the importance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C to prevent severe consequences for both people and the environment. Their recommendation involves reaching a peak in emissions by 2025 and then cutting emissions in half every decade up to 2050, with the first halving taking place by 2030. This guideline, known as the Carbon Law, applies to everyone–from companies and cities to nations and citizens.

Electronic Sector Feasibility Study by Genesis
Electronics consumption is increasing due to digitalization and a growing global middle class. However, this leads to adverse environmental impacts, such as high demand for raw materials, substantial energy use, and electronic waste. Transitioning to a circular economy in the electronics industry can address these challenges and generate value. The electronics sector is responsible for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to the fashion industry.
There are flaws in the linear economy, which are remedied within a circular economy model. It presents the concept of the circular economy, its principles, and its benefits. The section also introduces a report that analyzes the climate and financial benefits of adopting a circular business model in the electronics industry.
The linear economy follows a take-make-waste principle, leading to waste, environmental harm, and high costs.
The circular economy maximizes resource efficiency and promotes reuse, recycling, and refurbishment.
It seeks to decouple economic activity from the consumption of finite resources and reduce carbon emissions.
The report analyzes three circular business models in the electronics industry and finds that they are more cost-effective and reduce CO2e compared to the linear model.
