One cannot imagine a world without electronics. However the gadgets and devices that we find so useful, and that makes our lives so much easier, often contain harmful materials. When upgrading our cellular phones, laptops and desktop computers, we often discard the older modules, which lead to tons of E-waste. A substantial amount of BER (beyond economical repair) and less serious damaged Cellular phones, Laptops and desktop computers can be reused and reintroduced back into the market after repairing and formatting it or refurbishing it (where possible).
Those that cannot be reused we will recycle them in accordance to our recycling licence with eWASA (e-Waste Association of South Africa). We will dismantle it for parts which can be reused such as metals including copper, silver and gold and plastics etc.
When refurbishing cellular phones, laptops and computers the demand for affordable cellular phones, laptops and desktop computers can be fulfilled, while preserving the environment, conserving materials, minimizing pollution and eliminating waste.
Fewer than 20% of cellular phones are recycled each year, but if we recycled just a million cellular phones, it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking 1,368 cars off the road for a year.
