Why Electronic Recycling Matters

Electronic devices contain metals like gold, silver, copper, and rare earth elements that can be reused. When these devices are thrown away, these valuable resources are lost forever. Recycling recovers these materials, reducing the need for mining and lowering environmental damage.

At the same time, electronics often contain hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. If not handled properly, these toxins can leach into soil and water, harming wildlife and human health. Recycling ensures these materials are safely removed and disposed of.

E-waste also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions when it decomposes in landfills or is incinerated. Recycling reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills, helping to lower carbon footprints.
