Tech-Takeback Co-Founder appointed to new Government Taskforce

We're thrilled to announce that David Greenfield, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Tech-Takeback, has been appointed to DEFRA’s brand-new Circular Economy Taskforce. This is fantastic news not only for us at Tech-Takeback but for the entire resource and wastes management sector.
​
The taskforce is charged with co-designing England’s first comprehensive strategy for a circular economy. Their mission is clear: to drive economic growth, create green jobs, promote efficient resource use, and accelerate the journey to net zero emissions. By identifying and assessing innovative mechanisms for a Circular Economy Strategy, the taskforce will help stimulate investment in game-changing technologies and infrastructure, bolster supply chain security, and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

As part of a diverse group of experts and industry leaders, David will bring his extensive experience in circular economy, resource management and sustainability to the table. His work at Tech-Takeback has shown firsthand how tech reuse and digital inclusion can contribute to a more circular economy, as well as creating real community benefits—from protecting data and reducing waste, to supporting digital inclusion and fostering green job growth.

We couldn’t be prouder of David’s appointment. It’s a clear vote of confidence in the transformative power of reuse and the circular economy. With his insights, we're confident that our collective efforts can help make Britain a true clean energy superpower—supporting not just economic growth but a healthier, greener future for all.

Congratulations, David! We can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make in this vital role.
