As electronics have become a worldwide phenomenon, the e-waste problem is now a never-ending situation. While smartphones, computers, and tablets play a significant role in our routines, they don’t last forever.
We are constantly upgrading our devices whenever it’s needed. Reducing, reusing, and recycling our non-functional equipment and its components can reduce the environmental impact caused by discarded electronics.
It would be impossible to live without technology but investing in good gear can sometimes represent a significant expense. Planned obsolescence and trends encourage users to upgrade to the latest electronic equipment.<
Protecting your company is a constant challenge because there are always new standards, procedures, and risks. The rising in e-waste volumes is forcing businesses to explore green processes that can bring you better living and technological conditions.
There is much to talk about climate change. Days ago, a winter storm in our country had brought deadly weather conditions to Texas. This freezing storm has reached large parts of the central and southern United States, where millions of people experienced an intermittent power outage.
The amount of electric waste worldwide reached 444.7 million tons last year. This means 4,500 Eiffel Towers or 9 Pyramids of Giza. These numbers are unbelievable, and the game turns worst since only 20% of the e-waste produced is recycled. In the least developed countries such as Cambodia, the big mountains of old equipment are growing higher, polluting the environment with toxic materials.
