Rants & rAVes — Episode 1494: Christina De Bono on E-Waste, ‘SAVe: A Second Life’ and What’s Ahead for SAVe

I sat down with Christina De Bono of SAVe to talk about the growing impact of e-waste and what the AV industry can actually do about it. We covered SAVe’s “Save a Second Life” initiative, which helps extend the life of AV equipment through reuse and redistribution, reducing landfill waste while supporting communities that can benefit from the technology. Christina also shared what the organization is planning next, including updates on sustainability efforts across the industry and a preview of the upcoming SAVe Conference Oct. 13-14, 2026.
