Director of BNS Cosmos, Jeroen van Kerkhof, was part of the first Circular IT Summit last week. This platform was created because there is a clear need to look at a sustainable future within the IT sector in different ways. The topics covered were recycling, legislation, the image of the sector and the role of suppliers. Various experts in the field of refurbished equipment and lifecycle management were given the floor. The different backgrounds of the participants led to an extensive discussion. A product passport could provide a solution to trace the origin and reuse of raw materials.
Inspired by this day, the Circular IT Congress will take place on November 16, 2022 at the SDG Maarten Martens Huis in Doorn.
