Scaling Recycled Materials: What It Actually Takes to Design, Source, and Integrate

What does it take to get design, procurement, and engineering aligned on recycled materials that work? What works, what doesn’t, and how can companies learn faster by sharing openly?

Sustainability isn’t most companies’ core competency, and it shouldn’t have to be. That’s why collaboration matters. The electronics industry is learning that sharing knowledge on recycled materials integration accelerates progress for everyone. This session explores how Google has integrated recycled plastics, metals, and critical minerals into electronics at scale, and how treating sustainability knowledge as open-source helps companies navigate technical barriers, supplier relationships, and design trade-offs.
