"I have used the Column as a source of information and insights, specifically on policies and programmes around critical raw materials.”

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

"The E-Waste Column plays an important role in connecting a sector that can sometimes feel fragmented. It brings together news, ideas and perspectives from across the electronics lifecycle and makes them accessible to a broader audience."

"The E-Waste Column is a valuable platform for anyone working on the intersection of critical raw materials, circular economy and sustainable electronics. It fills an important gap by making complex technical and policy developments accessible while maintaining a high level of quality and nuance."

"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."

"The E-Waste Column is an extremely valuable and credible resource for insights and guidance about e-waste and the circular economy. Christine Nikander deserves enormous credit for her leadership in producing and curating it."

"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. [Its] ability to connect policy, sustainability, and industry perspectives is both timely and valuable."

"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."

"The resources provided by the E-Waste Column have given me a greater sense of how tackling the modern human societal phenomena of e-waste can be an effective method of climate action in terms of better management of precious materials and how effective management of e-waste can make the electronics industry more conscious of the environmental impacts of the lifecycles of their products and services."

"The E-Waste Column has become one of my go-to resources as an e-waste enthusiast and researcher. I particularly appreciate how it presents facts, data, and developments from different parts of the world, making it easier to understand how countries are approaching e-waste and electronics circularity."

The E-Waste Column "provides valuable insights into the latest trends, market developments, policies, and opportunities in the European e-waste and circular economy sector, making it an excellent resource for staying informed."

"Working in the e-waste sector in Québec and across North America, I am constantly looking for credible sources that help me stay ahead of emerging trends, regulations, innovations and the broader conversations shaping our industry. The E-Waste Column has become one of those rare references I genuinely look forward to reading."

"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."

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

"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. For us, it has been a valuable source of information and perspective, especially because the e-waste sector is still fragmented and reliable, focused, and regularly updated resources are not always easy to find."

"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."

"I had the chance to learn so much about e-waste due to Christine's expertise and also due to material already available and published on the E-Waste Column that we kept consulting throughout [our] project. That experience sharpened my academic journey and made it into one of the highlights of my whole masters."

The E-Waste Column "provide[s] useful information and materials" and has "support[ed] my existing knowledge about e-waste".

"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 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 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."

"The E-Waste Column is a well organised platform with every bit of information about e-waste available under crisp heads and columns. After a long time (which I wish I had during my research), I found a place where relevant information and insights can be read and researched for those interested in e-waste. The inquisitive articles with concerns related to resource management and circular economy particularly have kept me coming back to the Column. Recommended for scholars working in this area!"

"Christine Nikander's amazing list of 100 circular impact makers that she published in the circular advent calendar in December [is a] valuable [tool] for finding partners to collaborate with."
