    Circular consumer electronics: An initial exploration
     
    This paper provides reflections on what a circular economy approach could look like for the consumer electronics industry. Built on insights from over 40 interviews with leading companies and researchers, the work is based on research supported by Google and undertaken by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in 2017. The paper focuses on smartphones, laptops, tablets, and smart home devices. It represents a first attempt at a vision for how electronics could fit within a circular economy, and actions by the industry to accelerate the transition.
     
    The transition to a circular economy presents clear opportunities for the consumer electronics industry, but there are still challenges to overcome. It is now time to decide how the new system will look and function, and exactly which steps we need to take to get there.

    Completing the picture: How the Circular Economy tackles climate change, V.1
     
    This report highlights the indispensable role that the circular economy plays in tackling the climate crisis. It aims to demonstrate how circular economy principles and strategies significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It sets out analysis on industry and the food system to illustrate how the circular economy transforms the way products are made and used, and how this transformation has the potential to reduce emissions. 
     
    It discusses initial findings indicating that the circular economy offers a unique potential to increase resilience to the physical effects of climate change, and aims to initiate a deeper exploration of the subject. Finally, setting clear priorities, the paper calls on governments,
    businesses, investors, and academia to integrate their efforts to respond to climate change with those to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
