What is e-Waste

Any discarded piece of electronic equipment is e-waste. And consumer demand for the latest electronic devices contributes to large amounts of e-waste. Mobile phones specifically are the biggest problem. In 2016, the United Nations estimated annual global e-waste to be about 44.7 million metric tons.

There won’t be a slowdown in this number growing exponentially. When these products are dumped or incinerated, they release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere - And so does making those products in the first place! We want to change this scenario, as most modern electronic devices are composed of heavy metals which cannot be disintegrated easily and may prove toxic to the environment.

Why contact us for treating e-Waste?

E-waste, if not treated under proper care, is the reason for various medical and environmental hazards. Informal players today deal with a lot of health and social issues while treating e-waste. It is, therefore, recommended to hand over your e-waste to authorised e-waste dismantlers and recyclers only. Scientific disposal of e-waste is another benefactor in reducing environmental pollution. Over and above, it is a wonderfully designed and economical resource that saves energy and prevents pollution.
