Ask the Expert Session – Assessing the circularity of ICT goods

Description

Realization of the circular economy requires incorporating elements in product design that support the reduction of material use, reuse, recycling and recovery of products, product parts, components and materials to circulate them in the value chain for as long as possible.

This Ask the Expert session provided a platform to present Recommendation ITU-T L.1023 on Assessment method for circularity performance scoring which contained a three-step methodology to identify an information and communication technology (ICT) good’s circularity in three dimensions via three circular design guideline groups (CDGGs):

1. The ICT good durability
2. The ICT good ability to be recycled, repaired, reused and upgraded,
3. The manufacturers ability to recycle, repair, reuse and upgrade the ICT good put into the market.
