BENEFIT OF RECYCLING
OF E-WASTE
E-waste contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminium,
copper, gold, silver, plastics, and ferrous metals. In order to conserve
natural resources and the energy needed to produce new electronic equipment
from virgin resources, electronic equipment can be refurbished, reused, and
recycled instead of being landfilled.
E-waste also contains toxic and hazardous materials including mercury,
lead, cadmium, beryllium, chromium, and chemical flame retardants, which have
the potential to leach into our soil and water
Protects your surroundings- Safe recycling of outdated electronics
promotes sound management of toxic chemicals such as lead and mercury.
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.
Helps others - Donating your used electronics benefits your community by
passing on ready-to use or refurbished equipment to those who need it.
Saves landfill space - E-waste is a growing waste stream. By recycling
these items, landfill space is conserved.
