Geneva (September 30, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to announce a free, expert-led webinar, ‘The Circular Economy: What It Means for Electrical and Electronic Products’, scheduled for October 14, 2025.
The circular economy is quickly becoming a cornerstone of global sustainability efforts, moving industries away from the traditional ‘take, make, dispose’ model toward systems that prioritize resource efficiency, durability and reuse. For the electrical and electronic sector, this shift affects every stage of the product life cycle – from design and material sourcing to recycling, repair and regulatory compliance.
SGS’s complimentary webinar will provide attendees with a clear, actionable overview of circular economy principles and their implications for the sector. Participants will gain insights into global regulatory trends, learn best practices for sustainable material use and discover practical strategies to reduce waste while advancing circularity initiatives.
Experts Kevin Chen and Giorgio Scorcelletti will also highlight how eco-certification and sustainability standards can be strategically leveraged to strengthen supply chains and build trust with stakeholders.
Agenda:
– Global market and policy trends in the circular economy
– Reducing waste in electrical and electronic products
– Leveraging eco-certification to advance circular economy initiatives
– Q&A
This webinar is designed for professionals across the electrical and electronic sector, including raw material suppliers, product designers, compliance officers and sustainability leaders seeking guidance on adopting circular economy practices and meeting global regulations.
This webinar is offered in two sessions on October 14, 2025, to accommodate industry professionals across multiple global time zones.
Stakeholders seeking insights into circular economy principles and their impact on the electrical and electronics industry should register now.
