The Benefits of Recycling E-Waste

If you’re like most businesses, you generate e-waste on a regular basis.

Wouldn’t it be great to have someone pick up your e-waste for FREE? You could reduce your environmental footprint and save money!

According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, “e-waste is the most rapidly growing segment of the municipal solid waste stream.” Recycling your e-waste benefits the environment in several ways:

• Conserve natural resources.  Electronics contain many materials that can be reused, refurbished, and recycled, such as those found in toner cartridges.  The manufacturing process consumes energy to produce new products, which, depending on the process, may contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution.  Refurbished toner cartridges may use significantly less raw materials than brand new cartridges. An example would be MSE remanufactured toner cartridges which use “79% less materials” than their “OEM equivalent.”
• Proper disposal of toxic chemicals. E-waste may contain high concentrations of chemicals and metals, including mercury, lead, and cadmium.  Proper recycling and disposal keep these toxins out of our soil and water and protects the food we eat and the water we drink.

The Importance of Electronics Recycling

E-waste is growing, and with that surge comes the need for effective electronics recycling programs.

According to a January 2019 report from the World Economic Forum, E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream in the world, with an estimated waste stream of 48.5 million tons in 2018.

With faster and newer technologies and software being introduced every day, business owners are constantly upgrading their equipment, which can result in outdated monitors and printers sitting unused. 

How do you get rid of all that unused or underutilized equipment? Why choose recycling as your removal method?

• Old electronics can contain toxic substances like lead, mercury, and chromium. When you throw away your e-waste, you could be contributing to the pollution of ground water and the soil.
• Recycling old devices saves energy! When you recycle, the raw materials can be used to create new devices.
