Almost every single teenager or adult in our country owns a smartphone or at least a regular cellphone. I've been thinking about all those unfortunate families who only get to know IT equipment when settled up in those big mountains of e-waste.

At the beginning of the pandemic, nobody would ever believe that tech equipment and internet service would be even more essential than gasoline. Tech is now a need in terms of everyday life, from work to enjoy your favorite TVshow. Each year we generate nearly 50 million tons of e-waste, and 90% of it ends up in landfills. It means that most of our unwanted equipment represents an exponential risk to the environment because they are high pollutants to water, air, and land. Most electronics are composed of metals, plastic, and toxic substances that represent an exponential risk to the environment. But the worst part remains on those who frequently upgrade all their IT assets just because they want the latest devices.

How can we help?

• Refuse to buy the newest trends and wait until your electronics reach the end of their lifecycle.
• Extending the equipment lifecycle is even better than recycling. If you are looking for an upgrade because your old electronics no longer support your needs, give your IT assets the opportunity of having more owners.
• Reuse, reduce and recycle your electronics.

The market for refurbished and repurposed equipment is an excellent opportunity to reduce pollution, manufacturing prices, and waste. GreenTek Solutions will happily help your company with professional e-waste recycling services.
