Digital Circular Economy Market Industry Drivers: What’s Behind The Revenue Growth?
Increased awareness surrounding e-waste is projected to stimulate the growth of the digital circular economy market. E-waste specifically refers to electrical or electronic devices, such as computers, smartphones, and appliances, that have been discarded or completed their lifespan. This growing consciousness of e-waste stems from environmental worries and expanded public education initiatives highlighting the adverse effects of incorrect electronic waste disposal. The digital circular economy endeavors to lessen e-waste by promoting the repair, reuse, and recycling of electronics, thereby reducing waste and conserving vital resources. For instance, in March 2024, the Global E-Waste Monitor 2024 from the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, a Switzerland-based United Nations agency, highlighted that if countries could boost their e-waste collection and recycling rates to 60% by 2030, the resulting advantages, including reduced human health risks, would surpass costs by over US $38 billion. Therefore, the heightened awareness of E-waste is a significant driver for the expansion of the digital circular economy market.
