E-Waste Recycling
do2Fix,
E-waste recycling creates new jobs for professional recyclers and creates a second market for the recycled materials.
There are many materials that can be recovered from old electronics. These materials can be used to make new products, thus reducing the need to mine for new raw materials. For instance, various metals can be recovered from computer circuit boards and other electronics,
and the plastics and glass found in computer monitors and televisions can be recycled.
Donating your old electronics plays an important role in the provision of refurbished products such as computers and mobile phones, which can be of great help to low-income families, schools, and not-for-profit organizations.
It also helps individuals gain access to technology that they could not have otherwise afforded.
