Federico has got as core business the management of electronic waste, since his master thesis. In this podcast he shares with us te context for Electronics in Europe and developing countries - about the production, use, and end of life - and how these products are managed at the end of life. He specifically speaks about critical raw materials, the use span for Electronic devices and the new business models.
