"When we share our work openly [like The E-Waste Column does], others collaborate, and help it grow."

"Every week, [The E-Waste Column] help[s] people understand the real challenges and possibilities in the world of e-waste."

The E-Waste Column "foster[s] informed dialogue and encourage[s] practical solutions for a more sustainable electronics value chain."

"While leading an e-waste management pilot project in the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, The E-Waste Column proved to be an invaluable resource. It significantly enhanced my understanding of e-waste management concepts, emerging challenges, and global best practices. The insights gained helped me design context-appropriate IEC materials, develop comprehensive survey questionnaires, and strengthen the overall implementation of the pilot project. The knowledge shared through the publication directly contributed to improving both the technical quality and community engagement aspects of the initiative."

"The E-Waste Column is exactly the kind of resource we need more of: clear, accessible and grounded in the real-world links between e-waste, critical raw materials, responsible supply chains and a just transition. It does a great job of making complex issues easier to understand, while keeping sight of the people, places and ecosystems affected by the electronics lifecycle."

"As a Ph.D. researcher who spent four years studying the end-of-life management of medical imaging equipment at Tsinghua University — collaborating with Siemens Healthineers, Philips Healthcare, and GE Healthcare — and who contributed to EU–China standardisation through the SESEC project and engaged with the Basel Convention in Geneva, I have long felt the need for a platform that bridges technical expertise and practical action on e-waste. The E-Waste Action Hub does exactly that. Its Circular Actions tool, best practices resources, and compliance aids make circularity tangible for a wide range of stakeholders, from industry professionals to policymakers. For anyone working at the intersection of WEEE regulation, remanufacturing strategy, and circular supply chains — as I have across Romania, China, and European institutions — this is a genuinely useful and well-structured resource that fills a real gap in the field."

The E-Waste Column "makes complex topics around e-waste, materials, and sustainability accessible to a broad audience — from students and policymakers to industry professionals. As the global economy moves toward electrification and digitalization, understanding the lifecycle of materials in electronics will be critical for building resilient and circular supply chains."

"The E-Waste Column helps put [different] types of issues into a broader ecosystem context, which is often missing in purely transactional environments. It provides useful perspective on how circular economy flows are evolving and where structural inefficiencies or opportunities may exist across different parts of the industry.

Overall, it is a credible and valuable independent resource that helps bridge practical industry experience with wider system-level understanding in electronics circularity."

"The E-Waste Column is a very useful resource for researchers and practitioners working on circular economy, e-waste and electronics sustainability. I particularly appreciate the way it provides accessible, well-curated and practical insights that help connect academic debates with concrete action."

"In my work at the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), where I coordinate the EU Raw Materials Coalition, we increasingly see that reducing Europe's dependence on primary extraction requires much greater attention to electronics circularity, repair, reuse and high-quality recycling. The E-Waste Column helps bridge these discussions by connecting developments in e-waste with broader debates on critical raw materials, responsible supply chains and environmental justice."

"Christine has a unique ability to connect people, ideas and realities from different parts of the world. Her work has helped me better understand developments in Europe while creating valuable bridges with our North American perspective."

"The E-Waste Column is an essential knowledge and networking platform for the e-waste and electronics circularity sector. It has helped us stay informed about industry trends, connect with key stakeholders, and gain valuable insights into global best practices. The platform fills an important gap by bringing together professionals across the value chain and promoting collaboration towards a more circular electronics ecosystem."

"Through my work with Free ICT Europe, I particularly value platforms that help important discussions about repair, reuse and refurbishment travel beyond the usual policy and ICT aftermarket circles. The E-Waste Column helps people discover organisations and initiatives they might not otherwise encounter, creating new opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration."

It's so encouraging to see the circular movement grow! We all view circularity from different perspectives and can learn a lot from each other.

In this spirit, we wanted to share Christine Nikander's amazing list of 100 circular impact makers that she published in the circular advent calendar in December. Lists like these are valuable tools for finding partners to collaborate with.
