Excerpt from our E-book
“There is no denying it: Digitalisation – from smartphones to streaming and blockchain technology – is responsible for a substantial amount of carbon emissions. The bulk of these are emitted right at the start during raw material extraction and the manufacture of IT equipment. Transport also has a considerable carbon footprint, not least because of the complex structures of global supply chains. Once devices are delivered to the user, they are often used only for a short period of time before being disposed of. This results in millions of tonnes of electronic waste.”
