Safe Disposal of E-Waste
E-waste safe disposal
Responsible e-waste disposal ensures that discarded electrical and electronic equipment is handled safely — recovering value where possible while keeping hazardous substances out of the environment.
Conserves natural resources
Recycling recovers valuable materials from old electronics that can be used to make new products. As a result, we save energy, reduce pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.
Protects your surroundings
Safe recycling of outdated electronics promotes sound management of toxic chemicals such as lead and mercury. E-waste is a growing waste stream — by recycling these items, landfill space is conserved.
Returns materials to the productive cycle
The recycling of these devices allows us to recover elements that return to the productive cycle. E-waste is of concern due to its high content of toxic materials; although these substances are low risk during the use of equipment, they can be extremely dangerous in the final phase if not handled properly. The recycling of electronics mitigates air, water and soil pollution, and also prevents health risks to individuals.
