This Recommendation suggests approaches of circular economy (CE) for information and communication technology (ICT) goods and networks. It focuses particularly on the next steps in improving circularity in the operators´ supply chain. The Recommendation provides a guide on how operators could work with their supply chain to improve CE aspects for ICT goods and networks but it does not provide metrics. The objective of the guide is to provide options to improve circularity and to enable operators and their suppliers to create business models for the promotion of circular networks for an optimum solution that uses all the loops of circularity - from sharing to recycling.
