Nearly every home and office has at least one, if not several, lurking in a dark cupboard or drawer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember59\">It\u2019s shocking to know that in 2022, 62 billion kilograms of e-waste were generated globally. To put this figure in perspective, it equals <strong>1.55 million<\/strong> trucks filled with e-waste lined up along the Earth&#8217;s equator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember60\">We rely heavily on devices and machines in our daily lives, but we don\u2019t always do the right thing when it comes to their disposal. E-waste that ends up in landfill causes enormous damage to the environment and represents a lost opportunity for resource recovery, as many e-waste items contain valuable metals that can be extracted and repurposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember61\">International E-Waste Day is a movement very close to our hearts at Enviroserve, where we run the world\u2019s largest integrated e-waste recycling facility. Our state-of-the-art technology has capacity to process up <strong>40,000 tonnes<\/strong> of e-waste each year and can handle all types of electrical and electronic items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember62\">On this important day, we encourage you to dig out those old items and dispose of them properly, with a zero-to-landfill mindset. You will be contributing to sustainability and a circular economy and playing your part in helping the planet breathe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 14 is International E-Waste Day, marked this year with the slogan: \u201cJoin the e-waste hunt \u2013 retrieve, recycle, and revive.\u201d E-waste is any redundant or broken item with a plug, cable, or battery.
