The recycling process E-waste is highly labor intensive and undergoes many steps in the sorting process such as sorting, disassembly, initial size reduction, secondary size reduction, over band magnet, metallic and non-metallic components separation and water separation.
People produce a large amount of e-waste. As per statistics, an average person throws away 4.3 pounds of garbage per day. Through the course of the year, this waste adds up and reaches a whopping 2.6 trillion pounds of garbage around the world. Discarded electronic e-waste is toxic containing materials like lead, cadmium etc. Improper disposal can pollute the drinking water and threatens to harm our ecosystems around the world. It’s time we stand up together and fix the problem before it blows out of proportion. You’d be surprised to know that an average American keeps a cell phone for just 18 months and discards it after that! About 85% of e-waste is reported to be dumped in the landfills or exported to countries with weaker economies. Hence the government and environmentally responsible recycler’s like Surplus Service have been striving hard to spread the message of e-waste recycling to ensure people properly recycle e-waste
