What is E-Waste and Why Does It Matter?

E-waste refers to discarded electronics like laptops, phones, servers, and TVs. The rise in technology use has made e-waste one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide.

These devices contain both valuable and hazardous materials. Precious metals like gold, silver, palladium, and copper can be recovered. At the same time, dangerous substances such as lead, cadmium, and mercury pose serious risks to the environment if not handled correctly.

That’s why e-waste recycling matters. It reduces pollution, protects ecosystems, and recovers materials that would otherwise be lost.

The Impact of E-Waste: More Than Just Clutter

Improper disposal of e-waste leads to serious environmental damage. When electronics end up in landfills, toxic chemicals can leach into the soil and groundwater. This contamination affects wildlife, plants, and humans.

Recycling your e-waste prevents this pollution. It also cuts down on the need to mine new raw materials, which saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Our E-Waste Recycling Services

Blancomet offers a full range of e-waste recycling services. We recover valuable materials and handle hazardous components with care.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Recycling

We:

  • Use lab testing (ICP-OES) for accurate analysis when needed
  • Remove impurities and hazardous substances
  • Prepare PCBs for responsible refining

With our experience and technology, we ensure maximum value and safety during recycling.

Can E-Waste Be Reused?

Yes—if the device is still functional. Equipment in working condition can be refurbished and reused. This helps reduce demand for new products and extends the life of the electronics.

When devices are beyond repair, e-waste recycling is the next best step. We dismantle items, recover materials, and dispose of harmful components properly. This process ensures nothing valuable goes to waste.
