Stakeholders

Who are we trying to reach and support with our resources?

Learners

We strive to be the easiest place to understand why your electronics matter and what you can actually do about it.

Free, jargon-free learning built for people without a technical background.
 
The E-Waste Column turns one of the world's most complex environmental problems into something anyone can understand, share, and act on.

Practioners

We build knowledge infrastructure for professionals working across the electronics lifecycle — independent, rigorous, and built by people in the field.

150+ certified modules, expert networks, a live partner-matching tool, and practitioner-led content: all in one platform, free from commercial bias.
 
Whether you need to upskill, stay current, or find the right collaborators, this is where the circular economy's working knowledge lives.

Partners & Funders 

We offer a proven model for turning public knowledge into measurable behavior change, ready to scale with the right partners.

The E-Waste Column has built, leanly and independently, a platform that reaches tens of thousands across four interconnected hubs: learning, innovation, action, and career.
 
With UNIDO partnership, growing institutional recognition, and a clear content roadmap, it offers funders and partners a high-leverage entry point into the circular economy education space.

We work to break down silos and bridge stakeholders.

Through the resources we create, we hope to educate and connect citizens, businesses, governments, and other actors.

Through The E-Waste Learning Hub and our publications, we work to educate and keep all stakeholders updated. Our educational modules close knowledge gaps by creating comprehensive and easily understandable resources on raw materials, electronics circularity, e-waste, and renewable energy technologies. Our podcast makes practical know-how and industry knowledge that is often not written down accessible to a broader audience.

Through The E-Waste Innovation Hub, we work to help all stakeholders network, collaborate, and grow. It functions as a broadly accessible "Circular Transition Broker" within e-waste and electronics circularity. Our hub groups and newsboard allow you to connect with others online and to find in-person events. If you are an innovator, entrepreneur, policymaker or business, we also help you find experts and partners for your (potential) work in the space. In this context, we have also compiled information and created a matchmaking tool to make it easier for you to find and access the resources and funding needed to start and sustain your work.

Through The E-Waste Action Hub, we work to support different stakeholders find ways to take action around e-waste and electronics circularity. We have created an interactive tool to make it easier to imbed circularity into electronics in practice. Beyond this, our resources around best practices, creating a positive impact, and moving towards compliance are designed to help make it easier to engage with electronics in a more circular and responsible way.

Through The E-Waste Career Hub, we work to support different individuals in building and advancing their careers in e-waste and electronics circularity.

Across all our different activities, we aim to empower businesses and civil society to use electronics and modern technology more responsibly.

We are critical, independent, and think for ourselves. We are not funded by big tech, mining conglomerates, or the European Union. Our work is rooted in creating a positive impact for people and the planet. Unlike many other private and public actors in the sector, we are not here to advance some hidden ulterior motive. Since we started out in 2022, our honest goal has always just been to educate, connect, and support society in the transition over to a more transparent, circular, and just electronics future.

 

All our written and audio content is created without the use of AI and its resulting plagiarism. We openly and honestly reference the sources we use. If you see an uncanny overlap between our work and that of others (without a direct reference being made to our work or to a content license acquired from us), it is probably safe to assume they – or the AI models they have used – have copied from us without the permission to do so. Our work is frequently stolen and its copyright ownership is often misrepresented in an illegal and disrespectful manner. While we actively pursue remedies to the theft of our intellectual property through the court of law, we have also learned to trust that our longstanding readers and users can recognize our voice and our way of thinking – even when it is masqueraded as an original thought by someone who has played no part in its creation. In case it is relevant, you can apply for a content license from us here or report a breach of our intellectual property rights here.
