Economia de CO2 / pegada ecológica / consumo de material com peso ambiental:
O caso descrito a seguir pode ser aplicado à compra de tecnologia para implementar actividades de educação digital e / ou equipar os participantes de actividades de formação com dispositivos para participar em actividades de formação online. Esta prática aborda a redução do desperdício de tecnologia, portanto, visa estender a vida útil da tecnologia.

Descrição

In 2019 53.6 million metric tons of tech were dumped, +20 million metric tons from 2010. The exponential growth of e-waste is due to the increase in the sales of electronic goods, their rapid obsolescence and the decrease of tech cost.
Together with the “European right to repair” initiative , organisations, companies and individuals could act to increase the lifespan of tech items by creating local networks to upcycle/repair or maintain devices. These could be used for local training activities (especially the one on digital competences), workshops, re distributed to foster the access to the internet among people with fewer opportunities or to be reused within an organisation in order to have more assets for workers or volunteers. Reducing tech-waste prevents soil contamination, heavy metals (mercury, lithium, lead and barium). Those heavy metals can leak through soil to reach groundwater. In fact, when the tech-waste is dispersed into the environment or in not suitable waste storage sites heavy metals could reach groundwater and eventually make their way into ponds, streams, rivers, and lakes.

Concretely organisations and companies can foresee additional insurance or maintenance contracts in order to keep a regular maintenance and extend the life of technology used by them. What is more, organisations could affiliate to the repair café network (www.repaircafe.org ) supporting a repair café start-up or setting up a partnership with a local repair café already working in the village/town/city. Repair cafés could give the chance to organisations to develop activities to raise awareness on tech waste or extend their training offer.
Companies could donate and network with local repair cafés or join charity programs for tech repairing and redistribution to people in need (e.g. Hardware for future in Leipzig, Primo Contatto or Device4All in Italy, etc..).
