We love our phones. Also in Nigeria. The number of smartphone users in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy, is forecast to grow to more than 140 million by 2025. Excited to join the Dutch trade mission to strengthen our business opportunities #wastefree #phones #Nlnigeria

50 million tonnes of electronics were discarded in 2016. This is expected to increase by 17% by 2021. We need a circular approach to our electronic devices.

Less than a 1/4 of all U.S. electronic waste is recycled, according to a UN estimate. The rest is incinerated or ends up in landfills. That’s bad news, as e-waste can contain harmful materials like mercury and beryllium that pose environmental risks. https://t.co/Mu7gQCVnjq

Hopefully the updates for older phones won't stop once HMD has reached the critical market mass that they aim at. It's a model worth following. Similar examples can be found at #WCEF2019 and @TransformTgther campfire discussion later today.

#WCEF2019 closing now, my key takeaways
- world is 9% circular,
- we need to move taxation from jobs to resources and
- collaboration
