A survey reveals that 95% of IT decision makers believe hybrid work negatively affects sustainability efforts. While it reduces commuting, it increases e-waste and reliance on personal devices. Globally, there's a lack of e-waste regulations, with only 42% of countries having policies in place. Most discarded electronics end up in landfills, wasting valuable resources. The frequency of product upgrades exacerbates the issue, raising concerns about sustainable practices in the workplace as firms address their ESG goals.
Remote and hybrid schedules cut down on things like commuting and reduce the need for office expansion. However, they have also increased e-waste and burdened employee devices.
Only 42% of countries have adopted some kind of e-waste policy, regulation, or legislation, with enforcement remaining a genuine challenge globally.
As product refresh cycles increase, millions of cables and devices being tossed out each year amplify the e-waste problem, wasting valuable natural resources.
