Why Africa needs circular print solutions
Africa’ s sustainability conversations are no longer about lofty ideals. They are about survival, resilience, and relevance. What is required now is the collective commitment from companies to support circular economy initiatives and get government departments to accept refurbished options when spending public money says Dan Smith at Altron Document Solutions.
As ESG pressures mount and e-waste regulations tighten, forward-thinking organisations are rethinking their print strategies – not just to recycle but to radically reduce, reuse, and reimagine their business through circular economy principles.
Global uncertainty is impacting businesses economically, environmentally and socially. As a result, global supply chains are under strain, budgets are tightening and organisations are having to do more with less. Yet, in this challenging landscape lies a powerful opportunity through the circular economy.
The sustainability conversation is no longer about lofty ideals. It’ s about survival, resilience, and relevance. What’ s required now is the collective commitment from companies to support circular economy initiatives and get government departments to accept refurbished options when spending public money.
