Lecture description

Redistribution makes sense: for your finances, efficiency, and sustainability goals. Electronic manufacturers often overlook excess and obsolete inventory (E&O) as an inevitable supply chain issue. However, billions of dollars are tied up in E&O worldwide. If dealt with improperly, this can not only cause damage to businesses but also negatively impact the environment and communities around the world. Worldwide, the annual generation of e-waste is rising by 2.6 million tonnes annually, on track to reach 82 million tonnes by 2030. There is a simple solution — proactive identification, management, and redistribution of E&O. This talk will break down barriers to effective E&O redistribution and provide actionable strategies for electronic manufacturers to turn this liability into a valuable asset.
