E-Waste Management: Four Reasons to Recycle It Assets

The yearly launches of your favorite electronic devices come with a not-so-pretty reality, i.e., the accumulation of tonnes of electronic waste every year, which either ends up in landfills or is dumped into natural water sources. While there have multiple efforts done by the government, as well as private firms, to reduce this obsolete generation and accumulation of IT waste by the leading MNCs of the world, the result has been underwhelming due to data security and data theft. As of today, IT asset recycling in Noida and other metropolitan cities of the country by e-waste management companies is the best way to dispose of electronic waste generated by the corporate sector. The list below mentions four reasons to partner with an e-waste management company.


  1. Increased accessibility of electronic devices

Mining, also known as the process of extracting heavy metals from the earth’s surface, is among the leading consumers of power and electricity in our country. Heavy earth metals, such as cadmium, mercury, lead, and aluminum, are either extracted in their original form or from their ores. While everyone is aware of the fact that it is almost impossible to design and construct an electronic device without using rare earth metals, aluminium being the most important, most companies don’t know the amount of money they can save annually by disposing of their electronic waste properly. Metals are used in almost everything that we use today. The televisions that we use to watch our favorite shows, the chips that go inside our pen drives, laptops, and computers, the batteries that go inside the remotes, the air conditioners and room heaters we use to acclimatize to extreme weather conditions, none of it would be possible without mining metals from the earth’s surface. Therefore, by recycling electronic waste properly, you can ensure that the metals used in the manufacturing of these used devices get recycled. This would not only reduce the annual power consumption for mining rare earth metals but also the cost of manufacturing new electronic devices. By reducing the cost of production of such electronic devices, we can reduce the overall cost of such devices so that they are accessible to people of different financial status.


  1. Asset recycling prevents groundwater pollution

Human beings, as terrestrial organisms, tend to ignore other natural ecosystems present in nature, such as the aquatic ecosystem, which includes our ponds, seas, and oceans. It is important to realize that the majority of electronic waste generated by IT companies and multinational companies is as harmful to aquatic creatures, as they are to human beings. Before the introduction of ITAD service providers in Noida, most IT companies and MNCs disposed of their monthly or annual electronic waste into landfills. Even today, the major portion of the corporate sector prefers to dispose of their electronic waste in landfills because they are familiar with asset recycling and genuine ITAD service providers in their area. Once these electronic wastes are dumped into landfills, heavy earth metals like mercury, cadmium, and aluminum start seeping into the soil and slowly make their way to the groundwater resources. Groundwater, as we all know, is one of the purest forms of water available today, and heavy metals like mercury, cadmium, and aluminum can pollute this water source in the long run. Since the majority of our population is dependent on natural sources of water for their daily needs, any sort of pollution of these resources should be avoided. By partnering with an ITAD service provider in your city, you can ensure proper disposal of your company’s annual electronic waste without compromising data security.


  1. Less exposure to toxic chemicals and metals

As mentioned, disposing of electronic devices like laptops, computers, televisions, mobile phones, printers, etc., into landfills can pollute one of the purest sources of freshwater, i.e., the groundwater. However, the groundwater isn’t the only thing that is on the verge of experiencing a pollution overload due to improper disposal of electronic waste. Some companies also dump their electronic waste into other natural sources of water, such as seawater or oceans. These wastes, after being dumped into the ocean, release toxic chemicals and metals into the water, which are then consumed by human beings both directly and indirectly. Fisheries, a crucial part of the diet of people living near these water resources, also get infected by consuming the polluted water. There have been several studies showing the deposition of heavy metals like lead and cadmium in the bodies of freshwater and seawater fishes and crustaceans, which get transferred into the human body after their consumption. Proper disposal of IT wastes through asset recycling ensures that the natural water resources are free from any sort of toxic chemicals and metals.


  1. An opportunity for MNCs to reduce their carbon footprint

The corporate sector is huge, and with the introduction of a new startup every day, it is almost impossible for companies to differentiate themselves in the industry. Asset recycling through a genuine ITAD service provider is an excellent opportunity for companies to increase their customer acquisition, all while reducing their carbon footprint. Customers and clients are more likely to associate themselves with a firm that shows genuine concern for topics related to global warming, climate change, and pollution. Partnering with e-waste recyclers in Delhi NCR or any other metropolitan city would help your company reach out to more people. By ensuring proper disposal of the annual electronic waste generated and the right marketing, companies can attract a lot more customers.

This ends our list of the top four reasons why your company needs to partner with an ITAD company. While the discussions around global warming, climate change, and pollution receive a ton of media attention, the topic of electronic generation and its disposal often takes a backseat. GreenTek Reman, a certified electronic waste management company, has the vision to revolutionize the process of electronic waste disposal by IT companies. We understand the importance of disposing of electronic waste correctly and are on a mission to replace traditional methods of e-waste management in India.
