About the event
Dr Alison Stowell, Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University, will provide an overview of a circular economy in the context of e-waste, including a look at the questions raised by current practices, as well as challenges, innovations and opportunities that management face when tackling this issue.
Her research interests focus on social and organisational responses to the challenges of waste.
When we consider the cost of manufacturing electronic and electrical devices, the materials contained within them, the skills required to build and use them, it raises serious questions such as:
- Why do we discard them?
- Why are we not recapturing them?
- What alternatives are there?
