IERC: International Electronics Reuse & Recycling Congress

IERC is the leading global forum for OEMs and brand owners, retailers, producer responsibility organizations (PROs), recyclers and refurbishers, ITAD providers, technology suppliers, investors, and policymakers. The congress convenes the electronics circular economy to share policy developments, scalable business models, and technologies that advance reuse, repair, responsible recycling, and critical raw materials recovery.

Key Focus Areas

• Collection and take-back strategies: WEEE schemes, reverse logistics, consumer incentives, PRO partnerships
• Reuse, repair, and refurbishment: grading and testing, remanufacturing, secondary markets, warranty and quality
• IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and data security: secure chain of custody, data sanitization, value recovery optimization
• Design for circularity and right-to-repair: modularity, repairability indices, material choices, eco-design compliance
• Advanced sorting and processing: depollution, sensor- and AI-enabled sorting, metals/plastics separation, automation
• Critical raw materials and urban mining: recovery of precious metals, rare earths, and battery materials; economics and scale-up
• Policy, compliance, and cross-border flows: WEEE and Batteries regulations, Basel/POP requirements, certifications (R2v3, e‑Stewards, WEEELABEX)
• Sustainability and traceability: LCA, Scope 3 reporting, digital product passports, ESG and green procurement
