Read along as Shegerian tells the story of his early entrance into the ever-growing e-waste economy with ERI, followed by Bittner’s remarkable world-building software to help visualize all futures, imaginable or otherwise. A recording of the entire plenary can be found here.

VX News interviewed ERI Executive Chairman, John Shegerian, on how ERI has evolved to be a global leader in responsible e-waste recycling by realizing the opportunities and global partnerships to be found in the transition from a take, make, and dispose linear model of extractive consumption, to one based on the principles of a circular economy.
