OUR PARTNERS AND PEOPLE

Default conditions and standards to ISO 14001 and SGS in most nations.

The best practices and principles for safe and sealed electronic waste and the associated American and international regulatory bodies have evolved since the end of the 60’s. A lot of rubbish dumps and landfills are angled or buffered to prevent leaching of toxins into the soil or (less effectively) air, but with corruption and lack of funds focused in the developing world, most of these have ballooned in size and diminished in discernment and decisive safety codes of what waste they’ll admit, legally and illegally.

Corporations’ legal and CSR obligations and insurance as well very real retaliation rights by local courts and municipalities in countries serving as “garbage heaps for the global rich,” coupled with exposure and fast distribution with the internet and social media of today mean that hiding e-waste dumps from traceability is becoming harder. Most countries are amenable at the central government level to e-waste codes and keeping toxic metals and dangerous recyclables away from scavenging low-income populace who try to repurpose and resell them. Also, the sheer turnover of computers and phones means that reuse and recycling or donation is more pertinent a possibility than ever for decently fixed secondhand computers.

Electronic Wasters chooses the best in class, best in-country facilities for e-waste destruction process in Central Asia, Latin America, Africa, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, the Pacific and Indian Ocean Islands, and either trains and checks them ourselves or builds our own in-house staff. We adhere to corporate codes of our clients and enforce them, and see-through and track and document from pickup through to destruction and sealing. For HazMat and batteries, we work with certified faciltiies for battery processing in Singapore, USA, and Europe, to triangulate and certifiably neautralize battery waste.

Electronic Waste Disposal processes mean assessment and inventory, breaking up with safety gear and machines, extracting and sorting distinct parts for destruction or recycling, oversight and monitoring, and end of life certification and either atomization or final storage at safely sealed and non-toxic facilities with licensed health codes and certified maintenance.
