Our dashboards enable companies to quickly and easily see insights and impacts based on device CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions, which can guide decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nE-waste is the fastest growing waste problem in the world, generating about 50 million tons of waste each year according to <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.statista.com%2Fstatistics%2F499891%2Fprojection-ewaste-generation-worldwide%2F&amp;esheet=53558527&amp;newsitemid=20230920116962&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Statista&amp;index=1&amp;md5=6b99bb1a51314eb2630b22131c0b4aae\">Statista<\/a>. At the same time, the global cost of living crisis combined with a greater desire to live more sustainably is driving demand for refurbished devices.

Refurbished devices also serve a critical need in bridging the digital divide by making high-quality, up-to-date smartphones more accessible. In 2022, Assurant, in partnership with its clients, repurposed and extended the useful life of more than 22 million devices. This equates to diverting more than 4,000 metric tons of e-waste from landfill and avoiding approximately 1.2 million tons of CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\nCarbon IQ also enables operators, manufacturers and retailers to track marketing initiatives for trade-in campaigns back to reused phone sales to create a link between Marketing, Sales, and Sustainability. The more devices sourced from trade-in programs, the better the carbon footprint will be for refurbished\/used devices.<\/p>\n<p>\nCarbon IQ is informed by a methodology that was reviewed and developed with the Carbon Trust.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Assurant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nAssurant, Inc.
