The global e-waste challenge is accelerating. With 62 million tons generated in 2022 and projections reaching 82 million tons by 2030, the need for scalable, trustworthy solutions has never been clearer. At the same time, demand for refurbished electronics is rising, driven by affordability, supply chain pressures, sustainability goals, and digital inclusion efforts.
The market needs a trustworthy, consistent and clear guide to maximize and measure the impacts of responsible refurbished devices.
GEC is proposing to develop EPEAT® Renew™, a first-of-its-kind ecolabel designed specifically for refurbished electronic products. This new initiative aims to help purchasers confidently identify high-quality, lower-impact refurbished devices while supporting a more circular, responsible electronics market.
