Goals and Values

In the 21st century, one of the most important threats is hazardous electronic waste

E-waste recycling protects human health and the environment. Incorrect e-waste disposal creates environmental pollution, which has the potential to harm human health. The best way to dispose e-waste is to recycle it properly. E-waste consists of many different components and requires specialised equipment to dismantle, divide, process and extract materials that can then be converted into new products. This should be done by a controlled system to prevent pollution and to ensure the safety of the workplace. Recycling e-waste helps to preserve our most precious natural resources. Recycled materials are used for manufacturing new products. This reduces the need to harvest new raw materials from land which are limited in quantity.

Waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is the largest waste category with a global growth rate of 3-5% per year, which is three times as much as conventional waste.
WEEE is classified into two broad categories:
Household WEEE: household appliances.
Professional WEEE: industrial, economic or administrative equipment.
Moreover, lighting equipment can also be considered as another type of WEEE, which is also the most common type of waste (around 80% of all WEEE).
