"Christine Nikander and The E-Waste Column [...] are on a mission to demystify responsible supply chains as we transition to a low-carbon world.​"

"The E-Waste Column is making an important contribution to the global circular economy by translating complex topics around e-waste, critical raw materials, and responsible supply chains into accessible, actionable insights."

The E-Waste Column "is the kind of intersectional, grassroots, & creative innovation our world needs now, more than ever."

"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."

"The E-Waste Column occupies a genuinely rare position in the e-waste and electronics circularity space: it sits at the intersection of technical depth and policy literacy, which is not a combination you find easily. Most resources either go deep on the material science side of CRMs and WEEE, or they zoom out to the regulatory picture. The E-Waste Column does both, and it does so in a way that is actually readable.

For me personally, it became a go-to reference at a moment when I was trying to make sense of the EU governance gap in WEEE management. I was working on a few projects examining the bottlenecks slowing down secondary markets for raw materials, and the Column gave me a sharper analytical angle than I could have built from scratch through scattered institutional sources. I have been a fan ever since.

What I found missing elsewhere, and what the Column consistently provides, is that sense of context. Policy developments do not exist in a vacuum, and neither does the e-waste challenge. The Column connects the dots between governance moves, market dynamics, and circularity outcomes in a way that helps you form an actual view, not just accumulate information."

"The E-Waste Column is one of the first truly effective platforms that brings together researchers, industry professionals, recyclers, investors, and emerging talent working in e-waste recycling and the circular economy. It creates a unique ecosystem where innovative ideas and research can connect directly with the recycling industry, helping accelerate the implementation of more efficient, sustainable, and economically viable recycling technologies. [...] I highly recommend The E-Waste Column to recyclers, investors, researchers, students, and anyone interested in advancing sustainable electronics recycling and building meaningful collaborations within the circular economy."

"The E-Waste Column shines a light on some of the most important yet often overlooked aspects of the critical raw materials and electronics value chain. At a time when discussions are heavily focused on security of supply and strategic importance, Christine's work helps bring greater awareness to the sustainability, circularity, and social dimensions that can easily be hidden beneath the surface. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a more balanced and holistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the critical raw materials ecosystem."

"The E-Waste Column brought me a different perspective of how e-waste management is evolving in space and time. Figures, ideas and literature analysis from an independent point of view are valuable for all.

Besides data about possible environmental impacts, the column highlights something not-well known, even by experts, since value chain are very wide: the social impact. Hopefully, the awareness on this so far 'blind-eye' of waste management will grow as quickly as the column did over the past few years."

"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."

"In a sector that is becoming increasingly strategic, The E-Waste Column plays a very important role: it brings together knowledge, market updates, regulatory developments, company news, and sector-specific insights in a way that is both accessible and highly relevant for people working in the industry."

"The E-Waste Column plays an important role in improving transparency and knowledge sharing across the global e-waste and electronics circularity ecosystem. It helps connect different parts of the value chain—from collection and ITAD operators to downstream buyers—by turning a very fragmented and often opaque industry into more structured and accessible insights.

From my perspective working in the electronics recovery and secondary market space, it is particularly valuable how it reflects real operational challenges that we also encounter in practice."

"The publications in The E-Waste Column are a vital resource for both research and creating awareness of various environmental subjects."

"To become smarter in using the continuously growing pile of e-waste, knowledge and collaboration are vital."

"The E-Waste Column has been one of the biggest sources of information for me in learning more about e-waste and electronics circularity, and the methods used that can support the effective management of such products."

"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 the E-waste Column, I gain insights into emerging trends and topics, which helps me stay connected with the rapidly evolving market and ecosystem."

The "E-Waste Column doesn't just share information, it connects policy, business, and sustainability in a way that is practical and easy to follow. The platform has broadened my perspective, strengthened my research, and continues to inspire meaningful conversations on responsible electronics management."

"The E-Waste Column is one of the thought leaders in the E-waste sector, driving conversations and disseminating knowledge. It has helped us in understanding what is happening in the European market and provides information and understanding about aspects of the e-waste industry."

"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."

"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 vital at this time. [...]

As waste is a design flaw [...] it is critical that designers understand e-waste and how to design it out."

"By working with The E-Waste Column, I understood that difference can be made with dedication."
