Sustainability is becoming a core focus for the tech industry as companies look to reduce their environmental footprint and embrace the circular economy.
Apple, Google, and Microsoft are leading the charge, with ambitious plans to become carbon-neutral and reduce e-waste by creating products that last longer and are easier to repair or recycle.
Apple’s latest iPhones, for example, feature more recycled materials than ever before, and the company is pushing for broader adoption of modular designs that allow for easy upgrades and repairs.
The concept of “right to repair” is gaining traction, with both governments and consumers pushing for laws that ensure tech devices can be fixed rather than replaced.
Startups focusing on electronic waste management and sustainable production methods are also emerging, offering innovative solutions to the growing problem of tech-related waste. As the demand for eco-friendly products grows, the tech industry’s shift toward sustainability is expected to influence everything from product design to supply chain management.
