Abstract
This study presents an analysis of the opportunities and challenges involved in applying and replacing the linear economic model with a circular one that is committed to the environment, one that recognizes the impacts caused by the generation and increase in electronic waste produced and consumed worldwide. In addition, the study discusses the benefits and challenges involved in implementing this strategy to transition from a model of natural resource exploitation to one of waste and scrap utilization for the production and remanufacturing of new electrical and electronic devices.
