Spotlight on Circular Economy & Reverse Logistics  

A major theme at MWC 2024 was the acceleration of circular economy initiatives within the tech industry.  

Companies across telecom, retail, and manufacturing are now prioritizing device trade-in programs, refurbished electronics, and supply chain optimization to reduce e-waste and improve operational efficiency.  

At LoopOS, we believe that standardized yet flexible ERP solutions are the key to scaling circular economy initiatives.  

Our discussions at MWC reinforced the idea that businesses need agile, customizable platforms that can seamlessly integrate with existing systems and adapt to different use cases, from trade-ins to repair and recycling.  

Key Industry Trends & Insights from MWC 2025
