In a significant move towards environmental sustainability, a consortium of global technology companies has announced a major initiative aimed at reducing electronic waste.

The initiative, launching later this year, will focus on promoting the recycling and refurbishing of electronic devices, including smartphones, laptops, and tablets.

This effort is part of a broader commitment to reduce the environmental impact of tech products by encouraging more sustainable consumer practices.
