Joining Anthony for this sustainability episode of VETchat by The Webinar Vet is Laura Crehan, Head of Operations at REPIC. REPIC is an industry-leading provider of producer responsibility solutions for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries and packaging.

In this episode, Anthony and Laura discuss the growing issue of electronic waste (E-Waste). They explore the progress made in E-Waste management over the past 20 years, the challenges of the circular economy, and the importance of prolonging product life. They also highlight consumer responsibility in recycling initiatives and address the issue of illegal dumping. Laura tells us about the successful Cable Challenge aimed at encouraging community engagement in recycling efforts. The discussion emphasises the value of viewing waste as a resource and the potential for future careers in sustainability and recycling.
