Summary:
|
It is expected that currently billions of new ICT goods - smartphones and others - are sold annually and even more are expected in 2025.
Business models based on servitization which would - most effectively - improve the circularity of these ICT goods are not well understood, e.g. prolonging the lifetime and/or the e-waste collection rate.
The cases in the ICT ecosystem - for which the ICT goods - are better sold as services/subscriptions than products, are not clearly understood from an environmental point of view.
This Recommendation utilises information compiled from stakeholders which can provide good insights into the specified potential challenge.
