Welcome to The E-Waste Innovation Hub.

The pilot version of our innovation hub is now live! Behind the scenes, we are continuing to build out and further develop our innovation work. In this context, we are actively collecting input from our users and different stakeholders – and we welcome you to take part in this process.

The aim of our innovation hub is to function as a "circular transition broker" within e-waste and electronics circularity. Currently, our innovation hub helps you to find partners, expert resources, networking events, and funding. It also allows you to connect directly with others in our network through specific hub groups that we have set up. We will also be launching our own matchmaking tool soon, help you to find partnership opportunities, open tenders and calls for proposals, as well as funding and other resources.

If you wish to see us offer other functions or features going forward, please let us know here.

Thanks for submitting!

Would you like to shape what our innovation hub looks like and will offer? Then we warmly welcome you to share your input via our short survey.

We bring people, ideas, and infrastructure together.

Our goal with The E-Waste Innovation Hub is to reduce fragmentation in the raw materials, electronics, and e-waste sectors. We do this by working to better align stakeholders, infrastructure, funding and timelines, regulation and incentives, behavior and implementation pathways, as well as procurement and logistics across the entire value chains or value networks for raw materials, electronics, and e-waste.

Our upcoming matchmaking tool plays a key role in this. Once it goes live, the tool will help you to find partnership opportunities, open tenders and calls for proposals, as well as funding and other resources.

Let us support your work.

How does our work foster collaboration and innovation?

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."

— Arda Işıldar, PhD

"What I particularly appreciate [about The E-Waste Column] is the quality of the angles covered and the expertise behind the content. 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."

— Gabriel Trottier-Hardy, Executive Advisor - Strategy, Growth & Partnership

"The E-Waste Column has supported us not only as a source of information, but also as a platform that helps create visibility, credibility, and connections within the sector. In a growing industry where collaboration is essential, this kind of work is extremely valuable.

We are very happy to have collaborated with Christine and The E-Waste Column, and we strongly believe that the platform will continue to play an increasingly important role in the future of e-waste recycling and electronics circularity."

— Tomaso Manca, Head of Marketing & Co-Founder of Hiro Robotics

"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."

— World Circular Economy Forum

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

— Jasmine Anouna, Founder of The Bloom
