Did you know that only 17% of all the electronics sold and used on the planet are currently being responsibly recycled when they come to their end of life? As a result, the fastest-growing part of the world's waste stream is unwanted or unusable consumer electronics. But, electronic waste is not only an environmental hazard. It's becoming a cyber security problem too. 

John Shegerian, co-founder and Chairman/CEO of ERI, joins me on the Innovation Storytellers podcast to share the scale of the problem. We also discuss the increasing problem with hardware hacking, why everyone needs to understand the importance of efficient data destruction, and how e-waste plays a pivotal role in the circular economy.
