This white paper, Scaling the Circular Economy for Electronics: Why Every Business Needs a Platform Strategy by Peter C. Evans and Guennaël “G” Delorme, explores how enterprises can shift from treating IT asset retirement as a cost sink to leveraging it as a source of value through circular economy practices. It introduces the concept of the circularity delta as a key metric to measure unrealized recovery value and explains how digital recommerce platforms can help reduce waste, enhance compliance, and unlock financial and ESG benefits. The paper provides a phased roadmap—Pilot, Integrate, Optimize—along with practical strategies, platform models, and regulatory insights to help companies maximize asset recovery, strengthen sustainability performance, and transform electronics lifecycle management into a competitive advantage.
