In this episode of All Things Circular, hosts Damian Polak and Vic D’Arcy sit down with Zac Fratkin of Used Cardboard Boxes to explore a surprisingly powerful circular economy opportunity: large-scale cardboard reuse.
Damian and Vic unpack how UCB rescues millions of boxes and Gaylord totes before they’re crushed, pulped, and remanufactured, a recycling loop Zac says wastes enormous amounts of energy, chemicals, and carbon. Instead, UCB keeps boxes in use, helping companies slash corrugate costs, turn recycling expenses into revenue, and dramatically reduce environmental impact.
Zac explains why high-volume manufacturers are ideal reuse partners, how food-grade inspection works, and why standardizing packaging could transform the entire industry. The hosts also dive into UCB’s new technology platform, Boomerang, which brings transparency and modern efficiency to the largely analog world of packaging reuse.
From nearly 9 million trees saved to a vision where Amazon drivers collect used boxes like old-school milk bottles, this episode challenges the myth that recycling is the “best” sustainability option. Zac argues that true circularity starts with reuse, not convenience-driven single-stream recycling.
By the end, listeners will see how intentional design, smart logistics, and accessible tech can turn cardboard into one of the most impactful circular materials in the world.

In this episode of All Things Circular, hosts Vic D’Arcy and Damian Polak sit down with Thomas Winther Mardahl of Rejoose to unravel one of the most misunderstood areas of sustainability today: accurate carbon emission data for IT products and why it’s quickly becoming a business essential, not just an ESG checkbox.
Together, Vic and Damian explore how carbon data has evolved beyond annual reports and virtue signaling, revealing how validated, activity-based carbon metrics are reshaping procurement, supply chains, and technology decisions. Thomas breaks down the shift from spend-based assumptions to real product-level lifecycle assessments, showing how better data leads to better decisions, longer lifespans, higher reuse value, lower emissions, and smarter investments.
The conversation delves into the significant impact of geography, energy sources, and repairability on a product’s footprint, including why two identical laptops can have drastically different carbon footprints depending on where and how they’re used. They also unpack the rise of digital product passports (DPPs), the EU’s new repairability index, and how global standards are pushing manufacturers and hyperscalers toward unprecedented transparency.
From the misconception that “recycling equals circularity,” to the emerging importance of avoided emissions and potential future Scope 4 reporting, the hosts challenge organizations to rethink how they measure and act on carbon. Thomas offers a clear and practical look at how businesses can integrate carbon data into their quoting systems, accounting platforms, and everyday decision-making to create a true competitive advantage.
By the end of this episode, you’ll see how accurate carbon data, circular thinking, and transparent reporting are redefining not just sustainability, but the future of IT itself.

This video, “Closing the Circularity Delta in Electronics,” features a keynote address by Dr. Peter C. Evans, delivered at the 2025 MIT Platform Strategy Summit at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In his keynote, Dr. Evans explains how businesses can apply circular economy principles to the electronics sector to increase sustainability, extract value, and comply with changing regulations.
A key concept introduced in this talk is the Circularity Delta, a measure of the difference between what a company spends on electronic hardware each year and the net value it recovers when the asset is retired.
For example, if a company spends $1 million on electronics but only recovers $100,000 when those assets are retired, its circularity delta is 90%. This high delta reflects the lost value often resulting from informal disposal practices that recover only 10–15% of the original asset spend.
Dr. Evans demonstrates how purpose-built circular platforms can increase recovery to over 30%, effectively cutting the circularity delta in half and transforming IT asset disposition into a value-generating operation.
To help organizations close this gap, Dr. Evans introduces a three-stage approach that moves from initial assessment to full-scale integration. The Pilot stage focuses on evaluating current recovery systems and identifying opportunities for improvement. During Integrate, organizations align stakeholders, scale systems, and embed circular platforms into daily operations. Finally, the Optimize stage uses data-driven insights to extend circularity into broader strategic functions such as procurement, customer programs, and sustainability initiatives, transforming circular practices into a core component of business strategy.
Throughout his presentation, Dr. Evans highlights how digital circular platforms are critical enablers of this transformation. Beyond resale, they deliver additional value through transparency, compliance, secure data handling, and multi-channel resale approaches. These platforms also support diverse market geometries, including B2B, B2C, and C2C, helping organizations achieve greater scale and geographic reach.
The Circularity Delta is a concept developed by Dr. Evans and Guennael “G” Delorme in their white paper, Scaling the Circular Economy for Electronics: Why Every Business Needs a Platform Strategy.
