The E-Waste Column

About The E-Waste Column

The E-Waste Column is an educational initiative and impact ecosystem of the social enterprise, Palsa & Pulk. It was founded by Christine Nikander in September 2022 with the aim to close knowledge gaps, connect stakeholders, and create action around e-waste and electronics circularity.

The E-Waste Column originally started out as a weekly column, and other publications and resources were later added to the mix. Over time, The E-Waste Column grew into an EdTech, innovation, and news platform. Today, it serves different stakeholders across four interconnected hubs: learning, innovation, action, and career. As a multi-stakeholder platform, The E-Waste Column now acts as a type of "circular transition broker".

Since being established, The E-Waste Column has helped thousands of users to understand the social and environmental impacts of electronic devices throughout their whole lifecycle (not just for one phase or step along the way) and their entire global supply chains (not just at one facility or location). ​ In recognition of the impact The E-Waste Column has had, it was featured in The Bloom's 30 Under 30 Social Impact list in December 2024 and invited to join UNIDO's Global Electronics Management Programme as a stakeholder in October 2025.
