The Ripple explored ways to get more value from E-waste while cutting down on environmental harm.

Guests from different industries chatted about tech, startups, and big-picture changes needed in recycling, from encouraging kids to fix devices before tossing them to making sure the supply chain is strong and transparent.

Key conclusions that stood out:

• Fixing E-waste needs teamwork across startups, investors, and experts.

• Building a circle where old electronics become new resources is tough but possible.

• Clear rules and better tech are important, but creative new business models matter too.

• There’s still lots of confusion over where E-waste goes, and making that process open will help.

• Incentives can encourage more innovation and collaboration.

In the end, the Ripple group agreed: only by working together and thinking outside the box will we see real progress in E-waste recycling.
