Understanding Circular Computing: Eco-Smart Computing

By: Clement Pereira

Narrated by: Sebastian Stephenson

In a world where technology evolves faster than ever, our devices have become both indispensable tools and growing environmental liabilities. This book reveals how the shift from a linear “take-make-dispose” model to a regenerative circular ecosystem can dramatically reduce waste, extend device lifespans, strengthen security, and unlock new economic value. Through clear explanations, real world case studies, mathematical models, and actionable frameworks, it could equip listeners with the knowledge to build computing systems that are not only sustainable but smarter, safer, & more resilient.

From modular design and resource efficiency to risk mitigation, data protection, compliance, & incident response, we cover the full lifecycle of modern computing. Whether you’re an IT leader, sustainability professional, security specialist, or student, you’ll gain the tools to rethink technology for a future that demands responsibility & innovation in equal measure.

What Makes This Book Unique and Sets It Apart

•It covers the entire lifecycle, from design & material selection to end of life recycling, security, & monitoring; most books only focus on environmental aspects or hardware design.

•It integrates cybersecurity & data protection into circular workflows, addressing real world challenges like data remanence, secure refurbishment, & access control.

•It uses mathematical models (MFA, circularity indicators, lifecycle equations) to quantify circularity, giving listeners analytical tools rather than just concepts.

•It includes advanced track for those who want deeper technical insight into material science, digital twins, predictive maintenance, & modular engineering.

•It is both practical & strategic, making it useful for IT teams, sustainability leaders, policymakers, & students alike.
