The Growing Challenge of E-Waste & Responsible Recycling
Global E-Waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams, projected to exceed 100 million tons in the next 30 years. While it makes up only 2% of solid waste, it accounts for a staggering 70% of hazardous toxins entering the waste stream. With so little actually recycled, how can we increase community efforts to protect our environment and resources?
Join the conversation as Janek Cieszynski from Sadoff E-Recycling & Data Destruction shares expert insights on the end-of-life equipment life cycle and how responsible recycling impacts both sustainability and security. This presentation will cover:
The Impact of Recent Industry Changes – How AI, gold values, and tariffs have affected electronics recycling over the past two years.
What Really Happens to Your Electronics – Understanding proper recycling processes and how they contribute to sustainability.
The Role of Data Security – Is data security part of your end-of-life equipment plan? Learn how to properly handle sensitive data.
Recycler vs. Collector – What’s the difference, and why do certifications matter when choosing a responsible partner for your obsolete equipment?
Whether at work or home, understanding the right way to reuse, recycle, and dispose of electronics is crucial for a cleaner, safer future. Don't miss this chance to gain valuable knowledge and take action!
