Overview
The Need: an estimated 50 million tons of electronic equipment is discarded every year globally, a figure increasing 17% a year due to lack of reverse logistics and remanufacturing initiatives.
The Solution: combine HP’s outreach capacity to establish a robust reverse logistics scheme with Sinctronics’ capacity and expertise to recover and create value out of HP end-of-use electronic equipment.
What makes it circular? Design decisions happen in one company, while production is carried out by another - forming a partnership has been fundamental to create feedback, exchanging information on practical feasibilities that are key to increase circularity.
The Benefits: collection times reduced by 50%, costs reduced by up to 30%, and 97% of the collected materials and components reincorporated into Sinctronics’ supply chains.
