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and software being introduced every day, business owners are constantly upgrading their equipment, which can result in outdated monitors and printers sitting unused.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