🌍 Today is World Environment Day and amongst the many environmental challenges we face, the scourge of e-waste if often ignored. The stats are mindboggling:
🖥️ The world produces around 50 million tonnes of e-waste globally.
📈 E-waste is rising 5x faster than documented recycling rates.
🗑️ The legacy stockpile of unwanted e-waste weighs over 347 metric tonnes.
You might think the problem is worse overseas. Not so! The UK produces the second highest amount of e-waste per capita of any nation.
At Converge we're working with our customers to be part of the solution. Our Valpak Zero Avoidable Waste to Landfill accreditation means that if your devices can be recycled, they will be, and almost all of the devices we collect from customer are. Many are also refurbished for future use too.
Factor in generous rebates too and recycling your unwanted IT makes environmental and financial sense. Be part of the solution to the e-waste crisis!
