En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en Español, Sofía Rivas conversa con Margie Bazán, especialista en sostenibilidad y representante de BG Metal Trade, sobre un tema que todos tenemos literalmente en casa; la basura electrónica. Desde los celulares viejos que guardamos “por si acaso” hasta las laptops olvidadas del home office, Margie nos muestra que dentro de todo eso hay tesoros escondidos. El episodio nos sumerge en el fascinante mundo de la minería urbana, donde los metales preciosos se rescatan de aparatos en desuso para darles una segunda (o tercera) vida. Margie comparte cómo funciona este proceso, los retos en Latinoamérica y por qué Asia lleva la delantera. Además, nos deja una gran reflexión: el reciclaje no es solo un acto ambiental, sino una oportunidad para repensar la cadena de suministro y hacerla más circular.
