Next Big Thing - sustainable electronics

A huge potential opportunity for sustainable product design lies in the improvement of sustainable electronics. E-waste is a sector that uses many resources therefore having high potential for circularity. Presently, although many countries have implemented ways to safely dispose of e-waste, many people distrust these re-uses and returns of their electronics due to safety concerns of their data or personal information being stolen. A product designed with this social concern in mind would facilitate the potential to repair and recycle electronics with greater ease.
