Upcycled Laptop
Brands are using post-consumer ingredients in consumer-grade laptops
Trend - Hardware manufacturers are incorporating post-consumer recycled plastics into laptop lineups to contribute to the circular economy. These laptops combat the growing e-waste problem without compromising on production quality—offering a clear benefit to both consumers and businesses.

Insight - Sustainability is increasingly becoming a primary purchase motivator for environmentally conscious consumers, particularly in traditionally unsustainable industries. Many of these consumers are willing to pay a premium for a product that progresses the circular economy, as circularity has the largest impact on environmental footprints for consumers and businesses. Technology manufacturers are addressing these consumers' priorities with upcycled goods, resulting in greener industries.
Workshop Question - How could your brand better appeal to environmentally conscious consumers by incorporating circularity?
