  E-waste, or electronic waste, are electronic products or products containing components that have neared the end of their shelf life. These devices contain toxic substances and must thus be handled when care is no longer required. If the product is not required, or is outdated, it can be donated to someone who needs it. If the product is broken and not reusable, it is advisable to provide the product to a certified e-waste recycler as opposed to garbage disposal. In recent times, e-waste has affected the health of humans while also having a negative impact on the environment. E-waste includes electronic scrap such as televisions, computers, printers, mobile phones, used batteries and so on. Anything that operates on electricity that needs to be disposed of comes under this category. These devices contain harmful chemicals such as mercury, beryllium, lead etc. When these chemicals end up in the air, soil or water, it has adverse effects on the environment. Negative effects on air:...

  Technology has advanced so rapidly in the last few decades that it's difficult to imagine life without smartphones, GPS maps, laptop computers, electronic devices, and many more. Discarded electrical or electronic devices are referred to as electronic waste (also known as e-waste). Improper disposal and processing of this waste can result in negative human and environmental consequences. Device life cycles are shortening—many products will be discarded once their batteries die, to be replaced with new ones. Companies purposefully plan their products' obsolescence by updating the design or software and discontinuing support for older models, so that it is now usually cheaper and easier to buy a new product than to repair an old one. Meanwhile, the businesses continue to profit from consistent sales. Here are some ways how we can minimize E-waste : Sell your old electronics: Selling or donating your electronic devices to those in need is one of the simplest and most effective w...

  Global warming has been increasing over the years, and one of the most effective ways for businesses to participate is scrap metal recycling , which will help to reduce greenhouse gases. It can be melted down and used in a wide range of industries. Higher greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity result in, among other things, much more severe seasons and storms. The gas that powers our cars and planes, the electricity that lights up our homes and offices, and the energy that drives global manufacturing are all derived from fossil fuels. Metals such as aluminum, copper, steel, and iron can all be recycled. When compared to raw materials, manufacturing products from recycled metals uses less energy, reduces carbon emissions, and uses less water. Scrap metal is a valuable resource to recycle because commercial recyclers and scrap metal yards will buy it at market value. Metals such as lead and mercury are classified as hazardous materials and must be disposed of properly. R...

  The value of computers in the scrap industry has changed dramatically as technology has advanced over the last few decades. The scrap metals found inside computers have changed over time as a result of major changes. We can find old and non – functional computers in large quantities at offices, homes, schools, etc. These old computers might contain valuable metals like gold, copper, and aluminum. While sleek modern laptops do not contain the abundance of precious metals found in heavier, older units, they can still be profitable. You must recycle your electronics because the number of people and businesses who recycle their electronics is low. Some people may be unaware that precious metals can be found in electronic devices, but some very valuable metals can be found in electronic scrap. Electronic devices that have been used can be reused, recycled, and resold. When you recycle your electronic devices, you are not only protecting your data, but you are also earning money from t...

Electronic devices are intended to make our lives easier but because they contain toxic substances and if not disposed of and recycled properly it becomes a health hazard. Most of us do not think about what happens to these devices when we do not discard or upgrade them. Electronic device use has increased rapidly around the world. Given the volume of e-waste generated and the presence of both toxic and valuable materials in it, e-waste is a growing problem. If not handled properly and exposure occurs, all of these elements can have a severe human impact.  The hazardous ma...

  The recycling industry includes a variety of facilities, each with its own set of risks.  Metal from home appliances, cars, rail tracks, automobiles, etc is the common source of recycled metal. Metals are recycled into two types: ferrous which contains iron and is magnetic, nonferrous metals are tin, copper, zinc, brass, lead. Vehicles provide the majority of ferrous metals for recyclers, whereas nonferrous metals are more valuable and command higher prices. Metal scrap recycling operations pose a wide range of hazards, including health risks from chemical exposure and safety risks from material processing operations and the equipment used in these tasks. Toxic metal exposure is far more common than you might think. While you may be under the impression that toxins are not easily absorbed, this is not the case. Even non-toxic precious metals can combine with toxic metals to form alloys that can harm you. You can be exposed to toxins if you are exposed to metal shavings, inha...
