  1. RECYCLE E-WASTE

  2. Introduction According to the research, 99 percent of electronics are converted into e-waste within six months, and it becomes the main reason for mounting the stuff in the landfills. It has also been estimated that if the electronic waste is left untreated or keeps increasing at the same rate, then the annual pile-up of this could double by the year 2050. computerwaste.co.uk

  3. Where Old Devices go when we Dispose Carelessly? Most of the time, your end-of-life equipment goes to landfills directly. According to a report, only 20% of the electronics are discarded and recycled properly in developing countries. Whereas in developed countries such as the EU, which is considered one of the world’s key e-waste organisers, only 35 percent of the discarded electronics are organised and recycled through proper channels computerwaste.co.uk

  4. IT Pollutes Soil and Groundwater Almost all electronics, including computers, laptops, and tablets, contain hazardous substances as their components such as Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Beryllium, Lithium, Polyvinyl Chloride, and Chromium. When disposed of directly into landfills, these chemicals pollute the soil, water, and air. computerwaste.co.uk

  5. Wastage of Natural Resources Improper computer disposal not only disrupts the environment but also wastes the natural materials that are used in the composition of electronic devices, such as Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper, Aluminium, Glass, and Plastic. Therefore, electronic recycling is recommended for it brings the materials back in use. Thus, proper channelising of e-waste can not only reduce the landfills but also restores precious natural resources. computerwaste.co.uk

  6. Greenhouse Effect The dumped electronic wastes become the biggest cause of greenhouse gases emission, which harm humans and the habitat of wild and marine life. Therefore, when a material is restored through recycling, comparatively, a small number of greenhouse gases are emitted that would otherwise have mounted if a completely new product was produced from the scratch. computerwaste.co.uk
