Overview

Mixed-methods approach identifies barriers and suggests multi-stakeholder governance to improve circular economy practices.

Key Points

  • Supplier lock-in contracts hinder the adoption of recycled materials, impacting sustainability efforts.
  • Concerns about performance risk affect 62% of firms, leading to underutilization of high-quality recycled materials.
  • Inconsistent regulations pose major challenges, hindering circularity investments across the electronics supply chain.
  • Innovative governance systems and circularity compacts can enhance collaboration and reduce perceived risks by 35%.
