Introducing the Circular Electronics Design Guide
Designing electronics for a circular economy is a challenge—but one worth embracing. Building a circular model requires both the vision and the infrastructure to support it. While there’s no single solution, OEMs can take practical steps toward circular design. That’s why we were thrilled to contribute to Accenture’s Circular Electronics Design Guide.
This guide provides a roadmap for OEMs in consumer electronics, packed with advice from researchers, practitioners, and trailblazing OEMs. It’s an invaluable resource for anyone looking to implement sustainable practices in electronics.
At iFixit, we’re committed to helping OEMs succeed in building a sustainable future—providing the technology we love while protecting our planet. We’re proud to have contributed to this guide and hope it helps OEMs on their journey.
Working with many OEMs through iFixit’s Solutions team, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to create a strong repair ecosystem—the innermost loop of a circular model. One key lesson: communication is make or break. Even the best repair ecosystems fail if they’re not communicated effectively.
