There are thousands of electronic devices today that have made our lives easier and more convenient, even more enjoyable, but care must be taken when disposing of these items that have outlived their usefulness.
E-Waste is extremely toxic and the effects on humans are devastating. Electronic waste isn’t just waste, it contains some toxic substances, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, beryllium, and brominated flame retardants. All electronics contain toxic materials that can be harmful to people and the planet. Some electronics, like smartphones and laptop computers, contain heavy metals including cadmium, beryllium, hexavalent chromium or arsenic which have been shown to build up in our bodies and the environment. The wires and cables that run through all this stuff are often coated with PVC, which contains toxic additives like phthalates. Whether you’re a corporate, small business, government, or residential client, it’s almost impossible to expect you to know all the ins and outs of electronic recycling, when you have more important goals to worry about.
