  23. Recycling and e-waste disposal Frédéric BonnierVP Sales and MarketingRecykInfo

  24. Introduction: e-waste/recycling overview What’s the problem? • Solid waste • Toxic substances, materials

  25. Solid waste • Out with the old… USA • 2004: 2.44 million tons of e-waste produced • 2005: 2.63 million tons of e-waste produced • US Environmental Protection Agency 2005 estimate: e-waste to triple by 2010 Canada • Environment Canada study (2002): • 158,000 tons of electronic equipment being disposed • Only 6% was recycled that year • 1 of every 2 devices left at eco-centres is still functional

  26. Toxic substances, materials • Most chemicals used in the manufacturing of computers are harmless when machines are functioning. When computers are piled up in waste disposal sites, these substances become toxic • A computer has an average of 0.7 to 2.7 kg of lead, mercury, arsenic, cobalt, beryllium, cadmium and other metals which are hazardous to the environment and to human health • Waste disposal sites contain up to 3,000 tons of lead, 4 tons of cadmium, 8 tons of beryllium, 3 tons of chromium and 1 ton of mercury • Sourced: Environment Canada, Quebec Environment Foundation

  27. What’s the solution?

  28. What’s the solution? • Functional computers can still be: • Recycled • Donated to charities • Dismantled (for safe disposal or re-use of materials)

  29. The Green IT challenge • Best practices for safe, proper disposal of e-waste • Elimination of risks associated with toxic e-waste materials
