Electronic waste management has become an urgent concern of modern times. Companies all over the world throw away a huge amount of electronics every year. We, as individuals, contribute to this e-waste pile by throwing away anything broken or old. The duty of companies and specialized recycling companies is to handle these materials. Having a certificate in the field of e-waste management is a necessary achievement for any company.
The first reason everyone should recycle their old electronics is pretty obvious: resources. Modern appliances contain all kinds of materials that must be recycled. Remember that these resources do not regenerate. In addition, some devices contain a small amount of precious materials such as gold. If you add up all the devices you throw away, you get a pretty powerful lump of gold. There are many other rare and expensive items that can be easily recycled and reused in industrial processes.
Another big problem is environmental safety. Electronic devices are filled with toxic substances that poison the soil when in contact with soil, air and water. There are many organizations that advocate environmental safety. Improper disposal of e-waste is punished by law and every business should now have its disposal activities closely monitored by authorities and organizations.
Toxic waste will also affect those around you. The release of toxic substances in the air can cause all kinds of lung diseases and other breathing problems. And when the authorities start looking for those responsible, the consequences for the polluting company will be quite dire. In some cases, all production and activities will be shut down by the authorities.
Data security is also ensured by proper destruction and management of e-waste. We live in a world where cyberattacks, cyberterrorism and industrial espionage are at their peak. There are many malicious people who would like to seize some of your old hard drives or penetrate your corporate database with old and inadequately secured devices. Therefore, a company deciding to renew its electronic equipment should destroy the old one accordingly.
Recycling e-waste is the best solution, but only if it is dealt with by certified companies. E-Steward represents a global partner program for companies that responsibly recycle e-waste. Certified members have dedicated facilities where they extract valuable components and destroy the remaining materials, which in turn will be recycled and reintroduced into the production cycle.
