The global electronics industry is facing mounting pressure to reduce its environmental impact as electronic waste accumulates at record levels. According to the UN’s Global E-waste Monitor, a record 62 million tonnes of e-waste were generated in 2022 (an 82% increase since 2010). However, less than a quarter of that was properly collected for recycling, leaving US$62 billion in valuable materials unaccounted for. E-waste contains toxic substances (like mercury) and poses serious health and environmental hazards. Regulatory bodies are also raising the bar for electronics manufacturers. A 2022 amendment to the Basel Convention now requires prior informed consent for all cross-border shipments of e-waste, hazardous or not, starting January 2025. Many countries enforce "extended producer responsibility" rules, meaning manufacturers must finance the collection and proper recycling of end-of-life devices. For example, the European Union’s WEEE Directive obliges producers to meet ambitious collection and recovery targets. These policies are prompting companies to design products that are more durable and easier to disassemble for recycling. Consumers and advocacy groups are applying pressure as well. Increasingly, buyers factor environmental impact into purchasing decisions and demand longer-lasting, repairable devices. As one industry analyst notes, "consumers are becoming increasingly aware and concerned about their environmental impact, so sustainability amongst smartphone OEMs will become more and more important." High-profile campaigns (such as Right-to-Repair) and annual e-waste awareness events have further amplified demand for greener electronics. This shift in public sentiment is encouraging manufacturers to improve transparency and embrace circular practices. In response to these forces, many companies are redesigning products with end-of-life in mind. Principles of "design for circularity" are gaining prominence: devices now use fewer distinct materials, incorporate recycled or bio-based components, and avoid permanently bonded assemblies. For example, Dell reports that it deliberately reduces the number of materials in each product and designs them so that "materials are more easily harvested for reuse and recycling." Similarly, firms are adopting modular architectures and standard screws to allow easy repair or recycling of parts. Such design changes aim to keep valuable materials in use longer and minimize waste. Several companies have become leaders in sustainable design. Fairphone, a Dutch smartphone maker, is often cited as a pioneer of circular electronics. Its phones are built with easily replaceable modules (battery, screen, camera, etc.) so users can repair their own devices with simple tools. Fairphone also provides long software support and refurbishment: it reconditions returned phones and reuses recovered parts, effectively making each new sale "e-waste neutral." This model extends device lifetimes and dramatically reduces the volume of discarded electronics. Even the biggest tech firms are stepping up. Apple, for instance, has developed advanced recycling robots (like "Daisy") to disassemble old iPhones into reusable parts. In 2024 Apple announced that Daisy can process 36 different iPhone models to recover critical materials. The company also reported that about 24% of the materials in its products came from recycled or renewable sources in 2024. By pairing such recycling innovations with design tweaks, Apple and others are working to shrink the environmental footprint of their electronics. Industry-wide programs complement these efforts. Dell, for example, has recovered more than 2.5 billion pounds of used electronics since 2007, using plastics and metals from old devices to make new ones. Samsung similarly emphasizes circularity: it says all returned devices are "ethically recycled" and notes that it is incorporating recycled plastics and bio-based materials into many products. These initiatives show that recycling and reuse are becoming integral to tech business models. In combination, evolving regulations and growing consumer demand are moving the global electronics industry toward a more sustainable, circular future in which devices are designed, used and recycled with minimal waste.
