The All Things Circular Masterclass is an expert-led, in-depth programme designed for senior leaders looking to move beyond compliance and embed circular strategy into commercial decision-making. Delivered as a focused add-on to Circular Tech Expo, the masterclass provides structured insight, strategic frameworks and practical thinking around reverse logistics, recommerce models and enterprise lifecycle optimisation

Unlike standard seminar sessions, this is an extended, high-value environment designed for deeper learning, strategic discussion and peer-level exchange.

The All Things Circular Masterclass will be a paid ticket event, spaces are limited and will be sold on a first come first serve basis

 


 

Beyond the Truck -
Turning Recovery Logistics into Platform Economics for the Circular Enterprise

For years, recovery logistics has been treated as the last stop on the technology lifecycle — a truck, a tick-box, a line item to minimise. That thinking is now the single biggest commercial blind spot in enterprise IT.

This masterclass reframes reverse logistics as a platform: a modelled, monetisable, board-level decision that sits alongside procurement and deployment rather than trailing behind them. Drawing on real programme data from two decades of enterprise secondary market work, we'll show how disposition timing and pathway choice create a measurable financial delta — and how the Cat 5/11/12 legislative wave (CSRD, SB-253 and beyond) is turning that delta into a compliance asset rather than a compliance cost.

Built for IT directors, procurement leads, sustainability executives and ITAD/ITAM providers working across ITAD, data centres and enterprise IT — this isn't a session about trucks. It's about what happens when recovery logistics becomes the platform your competitors haven't built yet.

What You'll Take Away-

  • A working model for quantifying the Circularity Delta — the financial gap between disposition choices — against your own asset base
  • A framework for reading Cat 5/11/12 and CSRD/SB-253 obligations as commercial leverage, not just a compliance burden
  • The vendor/OEM logic behind why recovery volume is shifting from a tolerated revenue leak to a genuine compliance asset
  • A platform lens for reverse logistics that spans ITAD, data centres and enterprise IT — not just mobile
  • A commercial framework you can put to work in your next enterprise pitch or internal business case
