Reduce Our Carbon Footprint

E-waste is a complex stream of hazardous waste. The exponential rise in the e-waste generation has gained public and political interest. The demand for the extraction of valuable secondary raw materials, and potential risk to environment and human health increased the worth of safe electronic disposal. It is hard to find the exact composition of electronic components. Locating a safe electronic disposal facility near me will solve your problem.

Why is Safe Electronic Disposal Essential To Reduce Global Footprint?

E-waste holds hazardous chemicals and toxic substances lethal to the environment and health. The leachate from electronic waste holds heavy metals such as Cadmium, Lead, Lithium, Mercury, etc. These metals are carcinogenic and pollute all segments of life. The concentration of heavy metals bio-magnifies at each trophic level. Additionally, open burning of plastic produces toxic fumes in the air. All these informal disposal methods cause serious long-term implications.  

What happens When You Do Perform Informal Electronic Disposal:

It is a huge global concern increasing demand for upgraded electrical and electronic equipment. It has led to the generation of millions of tons of e-waste. The following are a few to mention;  

Environmental Impacts

The workers dealing with informal e-waste recycling are prone to life-threatening diseases.  The public gets exposure to both acute and chronic effects. The communities living near these illegal recycling sites or facilities can get exposed to dioxins. The typical CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor holds lead, mercury, cadmium, and PVC. All these heavy metals cause serious respiratory infections, mental disorders, skin cancer, and abnormal birth defects.
