The E-Waste Crisis: Why Reuse Is the Most Powerful IT Decision You Can Make

E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream in the world, and most organisations don’t realise the role their IT decisions play in driving it. 

In Episode 10 of the IT Naturally Podcast, Julie is joined by Mark Russell from ICEX Group to explore why reuse, not recycling, is the most powerful decision organisations can make when it comes to end-of-life IT. 

They discuss: 

  • Why manufacturing creates the biggest carbon footprint in IT 
  • The real difference between reuse and recycling 
  • Common data security fears and how to handle them properly 
  • Why “computer graveyards” create unnecessary risk 
  • How responsible IT disposal supports the circular economy and affordable technology 
  • What CEOs, CFOs and IT leaders should be planning for now 

A practical, insight-led conversation for organisations that want IT to be secure, sustainable, and genuinely used for good.
