John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of ERI, the nation’s largest fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition provider, was a featured speaker today on a circular economy panel at the VERGE23 conference in San Jose.

The panel, titled “Circular Principles in Clean Energy Tech” was moderated by Maria Curry-Nkansah, the Senior Research Advisor and Lead for Circular Economy for Energy Materials and Technology at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

In the panel discussion, Shegerian shared insights on responsible recycling of end of life technologies alongside fellow experts Jesse Simons, Co-Founder of SOLARCYCLE Inc.; and Ryan Gallentine, the Policy Director at Advanced Energy United.
