e-Waste is a significant issue for the environment. You may be surprised to learn that e-waste contributes to 2-3% of the United State’s overall waste. Not only is this devastating to the planet, but it also leads to considerable unnecessary waste. For instance, $20 billion in gold is tossed out with electronics each year! If you’ve never considered electronic recycling–now is the time. Doing our part to reduce e-waste has a significant impact on our environment and protects against improperly disposing of reusable materials.
Many people are becoming more environmentally conscious consumers, and electronic recycling is a great place to start. When your company begins a recycling program, you are demonstrating good environmental stewardship.
The Importance Of Certified Electronic Recycling
Choosing to participate in electronics recycling is certainly a favorable decision. However, it’s important to go the extra mile to ensure that the company you choose is certified in electronics recycling. Doing so will guarantee that your equipment is properly recycled and that there is no landfilling of any material we process and no illegal exporting.
