Recycling e-waste—old and unwanted electronic devices. E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally, and improper disposal of electronic devices can lead to harmful environmental and health effects. By responsibly recycling e-waste, we ensure that valuable materials are recovered, toxic substances are disposed of safely, and new products are created from recycled electronics.

What is E-Waste?

E-waste refers to any electronic device that has reached the end of its useful life or is no longer in working condition. E-waste includes a wide range of items, from small personal gadgets to large appliances. When electronics are discarded, they may contain harmful materials like lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame retardants that can leach into the environment if not disposed of properly.
