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