Tackling the Growing Mountain of Consumer Tech Waste

Australia generates over 500,000 tonnes of e-waste each year, most of which remains unrecycled. This webinar will unpack why the current system is struggling and explore practical, circular solutions—from council-level recovery initiatives to extended producer responsibility, repair networks and reuse systems.

In this webinar, we’ll examine the gaps in existing e-waste collection and take-back schemes, spotlight pioneering council-level recovery pilots, demystify how extended producer responsibility can shift accountability back to manufacturers, and delve into the grassroots repair networks and reuse platforms breathing new life into old devices.
