DICE N+ Policy Brief featured in APPG for Data Centres

27 May 2026

🌍 Shaping the future of digitally enabled circular data centres

The inaugural Data Centres All-Party Parliamentary Group Insights Paper has been published with the inclusion of DICE Network+ insights developed through our data centre deep dive.

Our deep dive brought together researchers, industry, policymakers, data centre operators, and investors to explore how the UK can build a more circular and future‑ready data infrastructure.

We’re thrilled these findings have directly contributed to this paper through our policy briefing and additional contributions collated from our working group.

It’s encouraging to see sustainability highlighted as a priority, with 27% of respondents ranking it as a key focus. We will continue to shine a spotlight on the importance of circularity for data centres with a focus on e-waste and material infrastructure as a clear gap and opportunity.

Thank you to all of those that have contributed. This is exactly the kind of systems-level, collaborative thinking we champion through the DICE Network+, catalysing meaningful change.
