E-Reuse Services has announced the 19th annual Electronics Reuse Conference will take place in Denver, Colorado at the Hyatt Regency from November 14-16, 2022, creating an unprecedented opportunity to advance circularity and sustainability efforts in the electronics industry. The event brings together professionals from around the world working in the areas of electronics refurbishment and repair, asset management and electronics recycling to discuss innovations, share best practices, learn new techniques, and establish more collaborative business relationships.
“The peer-selected agenda is very much at the heart of what the conference is all about,” said Sarah Kim, conference organizer and president of E-Reuse Services. “Collaboration is paramount in our industry, so we’ve created ERC to be a networking and educational event covering all key topics around electronics reuse. I’m very excited about this year’s agenda as we’ve attracted all the top players in the industry and are addressing key issues that will help advance the sector. This is the biggest exhibit space we’ve had in the history of the show and I think that’s reflective of how relevant electronics reuse is becoming in our world.”
For three full days in the mile-high city, ERC attendees will attend inspiring talk, panels, breakout sessions, trainings and live Q&A sessions led by experts from major organizations such as: Samsung, Dell, Amazon, Intel, Starbucks, the US Government Agencies, among others. This year’s agenda covers a wide range of topics at the heart of electronics reuse such as: “Driving Circularity through the Electronics Lifecycle” with SERI, Google, Samsung and Dell to “Selling Devices Online: Importance of Quality in Refurbished Devices” with ER2, Amazon, TechSoup and Phonecheck to “Best Practices & Obstacles surrounding Data Sanitization” with S3 Recycling Solutions, Ziperase, Blancco and BitRaser.
The full agenda is available here and includes sessions that span the gamut from new research findings to best practices, such as:
o “Helping Customers Break Up with their No Longer Used Electronics” (user interview-based research) with More than Sustainability and The SOAP Group.
o “Lithium-Ion Battery Transportation” from the US Department of Transportation
o “The importance of Parts Harvesting for Reuse” with DMD Systems Recovery Inc., PC Parts and Greene Lyon Group, Inc.
o How to use data smarter: leveraging device data analytics to transform your business presented by PrologMobile
o Recycling 101: Why Recycling and Reuse Companies need one another, moderated by, Resource Recycling with Sipi Metals, Sunnking and Recycle Global Exchange (RGX)
“If you want to learn and make connections to grow your refurbishing business then there is no better place,” said Roger Greive, R2 Guru for SERI, about this event. SERI is the housing body and ANSI-accredited Standards Development Organization for the R2 Standard and has been participating in ERC since 2016.
Continuing with a tradition started in 2010, the Electronics Reuse Hall of Fame will honor members of the industry who go above and beyond to support and motivate others in the community. Winners are selected by a panel of previous honorees and announced at the ERC Awards Reception on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
