Recycling and e-waste disposal

Frédéric BonnierVP Sales and Marketing

RecykInfo

Introduction: e-waste/recycling overview

What’s the problem?– Solid waste– Toxic substances, materials

© 2006 MicroAge

Out with the old…

USA – 2004: 2.44 million tons of e-waste produced

– 2005: 2.63 million tons of e-waste produced

– US Environmental Protection Agency 2005 estimate: e-waste to triple by 2010

Canada– Environment Canada study (2002):

• 158,000 tons of electronic equipment being disposed

• Only 6% was recycled that year

• 1 of every 2 devices left at eco-centres is still functional

Solid waste

© 2006 MicroAge

Toxic substances, materials

– Most chemicals used in the manufacturing of computers are harmless when machines are functioning. When computers are piled up in waste disposal sites, these substances become toxic

– A computer has an average of 0.7 to 2.7 kg of lead, mercury, arsenic, cobalt, beryllium, cadmium and other metals which are hazardous to the environment and to human health

– Waste disposal sites contain up to 3,000 tons of lead, 4 tons of cadmium, 8 tons of beryllium, 3 tons of chromium and 1 ton of mercury

What’s the solution?

What’s the solution?

Functional computers can still be:

– Recycled– Donated to charities – Dismantled (for safe disposal

or re-use of materials)

© 2006 MicroAge

The Green IT challenge

– Best practices for safe, proper disposal of e-waste– Elimination of risks associated with toxic e-waste
