The Global Electronics Association Launches Industry Leading Circularity Resource Hub, Fast-Tracking Cost-Reducing, Efficient Solutions for Manufacturers
July 1, 2025 | Global Electronics AssociationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Today, the Global Electronics Association – the voice of the electronics industry – launched its Circularity Resource Hub. The Hub provides a centralized home for the latest industry standards, best practices, and resources to accelerate electronics’ sustainable and circular evolution.
Mounting pressure for circularity in electronics is shaping the industry’s next era of innovation. Circularity enables compliance with global regulations like Right to Repair and Ecodesign while improving companies’ bottom lines and supply chain resilience.
Designed for use across the electronics industry, the Circularity Resource Hub curates unified, actionable strategies to scale circularity for engineers, manufacturers, suppliers, and decision-makers, providing sustainable solutions that lower material and operational costs to directly improve bottom lines.The Hub is the latest resource to come from Evolve, an initiative from the Global Electronics Association (formerly IPC) supporting industry sustainability efforts.
Key resources in the Hub include:
- In-depth guidance on how to design and embed circularity throughout every process of the electronics life cycle
- Practical tools and frameworks to support implementation
- A comprehensive guide for implementing practices to reduce e-waste
- Industry standards that enable repairability and rework, circularity, and more
Content will be updated continually to provide resources that address the challenges manufacturers face in adopting circular practices.
In tandem with the Circularity Resource Hub, the Global Electronics Association unveiled a new report, Circularity for Electronics: Proceedings Report that captures industry stakeholder insights and zeroes in on key challenges, opportunities, and solutions.
“As demand for electronics continues to grow, so too does our responsibility to design and manage products more sustainably. Circularity is about more than reducing waste, it’s about unlocking efficiency, innovation, and resilience across the entire industry,” said Dr. John W. Mitchell, Global Electronics Association president and CEO. “We see that circularity is essential for sustainability and for the long-term competitiveness and growth of our industry.”
“Faced with sourcing uncertainty and pricing volatility, the electronics ecosystem has an opportunity to embrace circularity to reduce risk – and minimize its life cycle impacts in the process,” said Dr. Kelly Scanlon, Global Electronics Association lead sustainability strategist. “By centralizing best-in-class resources, we support the industry’s sustainable transformation.”
Visit the Circularity Resource Hub now at electronics.org/evolve/circularity to explore how your organization can lead, comply, and thrive in the circular economy, even in uncertain times.

Critical Minerals: The New Power Play in Global Trade
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Access to critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing, and China’s monopoly of them, is increasingly under scrutiny, with gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge)at the forefront of this discourse. However, all critical minerals imported from China share a similar narrative, and understanding the implications of this dependency and the risks to both U.S. commercial and defense sectors has created an urgent need for a comprehensive electronics strategy to secure and diversify access to these vital minerals. In this candid interview, USPAE Executive Director Jim Will discusses the issues and the mitigation steps that must be taken to adequately address them.
