Electronic devices contain hazardous materials such as
lead, mercury and cadmium, in addition to metals and harmful
plastics, which is why the proper handling and recycling of
E-waste is a vital issue.
Rapid advances in technology have reduced the life cycle of
electronic equipment which further impacts the environmental
concern. Consequently, the reduced life cycle of technology
increases the burden on corporations to be ethically responsible
in the disposition of their surplus equipment while watching
the bottom line. This is why we have developed the Environmental
Management Program; to assist you in the process.
Typical surplus equipment solutions go directly from the original
user to the recycler but we believe that most of these units
are not at their end of life and can be put back into society
to good use.
This is why when your organization donates equipment that
is below the school level, but in working condition, it will
be offered to charities and low-income students who would
otherwise not be able to afford to buy their own.
This practice reduces costs, provides a one-stop-shop for
your organization, reduces the burden on the environment and
benefits society. Equipment that has truly reached its end
of life will then be responsibly disposed of. |
