Statistics suggest that North Americans are among the highest users of latest technologies in the world, purchasing millions of computers every year. For this reason, e-waste has become a growing problem in the country. The amount of e-waste in Canada is increasing every year. That is why e-waste recycling in Canada and across North America needs to be a topic of concern.
In Canada, among the most common electronic devices are computers. While some Canadians have the desktop models, others own the portable ones. So, computer recycling, laptop recycling, and electronics recycling are all pressing matters that we all should be thinking about. Though these devices play a vital role in day-to-day activities, what many do not know is that they are made of materials that pose a threat to human health and the environment.
On the bright side, computer recycling or e-waste recycling makes a great source of non-renewable resources, such as Nickel, Copper, Zinc, and Tin. But, there should be a proper channel for computer disposal and effective management of all kinds of electronic recycling to gain the advantage of e-waste recycling.
Organizations cannot function without computers and periodical upgrades are a reality for consideration. Computer recycling entails recycling electric circuits, peripheral devices, and electrical components of the device. eScrap Canada provides tailored solutions for each individual organization and has been providing services of E-waste recycling in Canada since 2019.
