Global Best Practices

Government frame laws for proper disposal of e Waste, through authorized recyclers, corporate understand how e Waste can pose a threat to a company’s security and their image. Thus most global companies follow e Waste best practices where they ensure the following:

Compliance & accountability for proper disposal of e Waste through the best government approved e Waste recycling firm.

Financial support for the cause of recycling. Companies understand that recycling e Waste in an environmental friendly manner has a cost attached to it and thus they have come forward to share the cost of proper recycling. In most of the countries companies pay a fixed fee to recyclers for proper recycling on e Waste.

The best option for dealing with E wastes is to reduce the volume. Designers should ensure that the product is built for re-use, repair and/or upgradeability.

Long term tie up with recyclers who are transparent, have great accountability and can provide complete services  including refurbishing and end to end recycling.

Stress should be laid on use of less toxic, easily recoverable and recyclable materials which can be taken back for re manufacturing, disassembly and reuse.
