The demand for refurbished devices is skyrocketing and recommerce is essential, given the expected rise in e-waste to 82 million tonnes annually by 2030. This shift is no longer niche - it’s mainstream. But to fully realise this potential, retailers must rethink their approach to circularity.

I’m treating A.I with C.O: Cautious Optimism. Explosive technological growth is nothing new. It feels like I’ve been running to keep up with the shockwaves of rapid innovation since the late 70s. Then, at ten or eleven years old, playing with the plastic prototypes of the first generation of products that would form the computer electronics revolution of the 70s and 80s, the pace of innovation was breathtaking.
