Reduce, reuse and recycle at Evertiq Expo: the green electronics shift
Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword in the electronics industry — it's fast becoming a core strategy that shapes how companies design, produce, and manage their business to minimise environmental impact. At its core, the solution is something most already know: the three R's — reduce, reuse, recycle. The concept may seem simple, but applying it in the world of electronics manufacturing is far more complex than it appears.
