With the fast-pace changing of the consumer electronics market, there are new devices being introduced on a seemingly daily basis. Producers speed up the process of ‘obsolescence’, meaning that they find a way of convincing us to buy their last release. Thus customers are constantly forced to toss out defunct products, and buy new ones. When you think about it, how many times have you faced a sudden breakdown or slower performances just after the warranty period has expired? This “buy new and buy often” mentality has devastating consequences. By 2030, the global total of e-waste is likely to swell to 74.7 million tonnes. This makes it the world’s fastest growing waste stream. Approaches taken thus far, however well intentioned, haven’t addressed the magnitude of the problem. The recycling rate for electronics still stubbornly low and despite the multiplicity of repair shops, only 34% are repaired according to ADEME. The fact remains that it is more convenient and appealing for customers to buy a new product than repair the old one. It is now urgent to rethink tech innovation in an ecologically constrained world. Deglace has an antidote. Imagine an economy based on the principle of regeneration, an economy that uses our innovative capabilities to not just extend the lifetimes and the useful life of products but actually undo the environnemental harm. Regeneration goes beyond sustainability, aiming for a positive and restorative impact. Deglace is on the cusp of a new era that unpacks the changes to a regenerative future with an unprecedented opportunity to reshape the way we live and do business for the better. It is not a secret, our technology is out to change the consumer electronics industry. But we need your help to make our regenerative products available faster. How? Join our movement ! Deglace_
