"Fairphone’s progress on core impact strategies, page 21.
Under the header "Levels of circularity: 8 R’s" are 3 shaded areas pointing to "KPI 2", "KPI 3", then "KPI 3 + 4". A banded arrow along the left bridges these areas, pointing upward. Its label is "Order of Priority" from "Low" to "High".

These point to KPI 2.
Refuse: prevent raw materials use.
Rethink: redesign product in view of circularity.

These point to KPI 3.
Reduce: decrease raw materials use.
Repair: maintain and repair product.
Refurbish: revive product.
Remanufacture: make new product from second hand.
Repurpose: re-use product but with other function.

This points to KPI 3 + 4.
Recycle: salvage material streams with highest possible value.

If that's not great alt text, idk what is.

For those who aren't familiar with this niche service #AccessText, it was (?) an agreement that publishers had with accessible ebook libraries to upload PDF or EPUB version of their commercially published books into a centralized repository where those of us who are trying to remediate accessible versions of books could request them and share them with our clients. We may still be able to reach out to individual publishers but it's a big loss in terms of having a fast and centralized service.

WTF? Has anyone else who works in accessible alternate formats got an email that #AccessText is being closed down? Could not find anything about it online, even the ATN site accesstext.org is down for me.

"Unfortunately, Georgia Tech has been unable to negotiate an agreement to continue operating the AccessText Network (ATN). Specific questions regarding ATN should be directed to the Association of American Publishers (AAP)."
