Christine Liang, DSIT: “1.6m people in the UK are offline…Blockers can include cost of device/connectivity.” Programmes to refurb old gov devices and pass them on to digitally excluded people address both waste and exclusion at the same time.

Carbon is just one metric we need to consider in environmental impact. Including the cost of mining precious metals and processing physical materials requires a full life cycle assessment, which is much harder for organisations to do.
