Solutions for a more sustainable ICT industry

​Transform Together launches 10 inspiring case studies with real-world solutions for creating sustainable ICT and smartphones. From eco-labelling to dealing with e-waste and powering ICT with renewables, read them here.

Transform Together's case studies show that positive change is possible. 

The inspiring real-life examples  show how things can be done better, including:

• designing long-lasting products
• selling phones as a service rather a product
• second-hand laptops made as good as new
• responsible raw material sourcing initiatives
• e-waste legislation in India improving livelihoods in the informal sector
• ground-up workers’ rights monitoring
• progressive ecolabels
• decarbonising ICT supply chains
• circular ICT procurement
• and innovative offsetting schemes.

 
By addressing entire product lifecycles, these case studies show that in many ways we already know how to be sustainable - but the brilliant organisations and individuals behind them cannot change the course alone. For the system reset to happen, everyone needs to get on board.

Pick an action from their ‘keys to success’ or ‘next steps’ that you could take in your own sphere of influence, or send the idea to someone else who you know could take it forward to help achieve our 2030 vision.
