Did you know that every 28th of July is the World Nature Conservation Day?
By recycling waste, you’d practice a more sustainable lifestyle and support Mother Earth to live a better condition.
But how?
Let us show you!
What’s E-Waste?
Do you have any broken or non-working electrical appliances around your house?
If your answer is yes, you might be looking at e-waste or Electronic Waste such as:
-
Electronic Devices (Mobile Phones, Laptops, CPUs, Printers, Monitors, Speakers, Computers and more)
-
Household Appliances (Refrigerators, Washing Machines, Air Conditioners, Dishwashers and more)
-
Electronic Toys (Toys with built-in batteries and speakers)
-
Batteries, Switches and Wires
And the list goes on…
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is one of the fastest-growing waste items worldwide.
Benefits When You Recycle E-Waste
By recycling e-waste, you can protect your health from hazardous substances found in the electronics.
So many toxic chemicals such as lead, cadmium and mercury will be produced when they’re not handled and discarded properly.
That’s why it’s imperative to recycle your e-waste!
The e-waste recycling industry also helps to provide employment opportunities in the collection, sorting, dismantling and processing of electronic materials.
Since we’re recovering valuable materials from e-waste, this helps to reduce the cost of manufacturing new products.
Therefore, it can lead to economic savings and make electronics more affordable for consumers.
