Stefan de Linde is the Founder and CEO of Minimise, an organization providing digital infrastructure for global e-waste management. Following a career in user experience and strategic consulting for major automotive corporations, Mr. de Linde pivoted to scaling digital circular economy systems in 2022.

Minimise focuses on the development of traceable reverse supply chains, specifically targeting regions with developing waste infrastructure. The organization’s core contribution is a software suite provided to e-waste treatment companies in the Global South, standardizing the documentation of e-waste recovery and facilitating the formalization of informal sectors. On the back-end, Minimise's Data Registry allows global brands to verify environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact, producers to secure traceable secondary raw materials and governments with access to data for auditing national extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes.

Currently operating across three continents, Mr. de Linde’s work combines environmental impact with strategic critical raw material recovery. Based in Amsterdam, he advocates for the institutionalization of circular business models, asserting that such frameworks are essential for industrial sustainability. His efforts remain focused on building the global ecosystem required to ensure electronic resources are recovered and reintegrated into the value chain.
