Deutsche Telekom introduces circularity score to track progress toward 2030 goals

By Public Technologies
  • Deutsche Telekom developed a Circularity Score to track progress toward nearly fully circular network operations and device businesses by 2030.
  • The initial assessment is underway, using 14 equally weighted indicators; meeting all targets yields a score of 10.
  • Targets prioritize longer device use, refurbishment and reuse, with full electronics recycling intended to eliminate landfill disposal and incineration.
  • Device take-back and rental models reduce new equipment requirements, cutting resource use, emissions and costs.
  • Positive feedback from European competitors supports potential adoption as an industry standard, initially in Europe and potentially globally.
