Our excess and obsolete experts have had a great year helping clients around the world redistribute their E&O! Here are their key learnings from 2024: 🔹 Electronica revealed the scope of waste being created due to inefficient inventory management. Our team continues to grow to provide sustainable solutions to this important issue. 🔹 Our upfront pricing software lets manufacturers see the value of their E&O before committing to a sale — an important tool towards transparency and trust. 🔹 It is crucial to proactively manage E&O year-round instead of leaving yourself a headache at financial year-end. 🔹 The sustainability pressures felt in the electronics industry mirror other sectors.

Is it time for kerbside collection of WEEE? The British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA) is advocating nationwide kerbside collection of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). This idea would aim to reduce fire risks and make recycling accessible across the UK. Only a handful of councils offer kerbside WEEE collection for items like laptops, small appliances, and vapes. BMRA’s Antonia Grey suggests that producers should fund recycling efforts to ease the burden on local councils. Do you think that kerbside collection is a practical solution?

China has recently announced a ban on the export of critical materials, including gallium, germanium, and antimony. As essential components for advanced semiconductors, these materials are intensifying U.S.-China trade tensions. This move follows the United States expanding its export restrictions on advanced semiconductor tools and software to Chinese companies. These developments could reshape the global electronics supply chain, as these materials are vital to the technology sector. For instance, gallium and germanium are crucial for AI applications, solar panels, and LEDs. Supply disruptions might push manufacturers to diversify supply chains, considering recycling options or sourcing domestically.
