When assessing how the electronics industry impacts the natural world, many use the terms ‘double-edged sword’ or ‘necessary evil’. Staking a claim as one of the global economy’s largest industrial sectors, what we produce in our electronics industry can cause damage but also do a lot of good. This blog will look at both sides of the coin and the importance of corporate social responsibility.
The UN Climate Change Conference 2023 (COP28) has concluded in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). COP28 endeavoured to avoid empty promises and instead implement plans that drive tangible environmental and societal change.
A lot was covered over 12 days and 40 events. This blog will focus on confirmed announcements and pledges that impact electronic manufacturers, the electronics supply chain, and the overarching climate deal itself.
Radical decarbonisation and system transformation. These will be the core focus at this year’s UN Climate Change Conference COP28 as the world hopes for a way forward to reach crucial goals set out in 2015’s Paris Agreement. COP28 (Conference of the Parties, 28th Session) is taking place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), from the 30th of November until the 12th of December. The event brings together 70,000 government officials, scientists, activists, and other distinguished guests from 198 countries.
The electronic manufacturing industry has experienced an economic bubble marked by high demand and low supply in recent years. However, this bubble has now popped, and our market continues to level. Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed significantly to market volatility, but there is another force pulling the strings of our global supply chain: environmental change.
Recently, Component Sense has published blogs examining Scotland’s recent Circular Economy Bill. We would now like to discuss electronic waste (e-waste) legislation and its implications in the context of complex global economic structures. Component Sense is dedicated to supporting sustainable solutions within the electronics industry, and we are on a mission to lead manufacturers towards zero waste. We therefore aim to shed light on problematic aspects of our industry, provide some positive examples, and suggest potential solutions!
