WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO RECYCLE ELECTRONICS
It is just as important to recycle electronics as it is to recycle any other materials. Some people even argue that recycling electronics is actually more important when it comes to the impact it has on our environment and the health and well-being of the human race.
The Benefits of Recycling Electronics
Recycling your old electronics is a much wiser and much more responsible way to get rid of your old, unwanted electronics.
Recycling our e-waste (also referred to as “e-cycling”) provides the following benefits:

• The ability to recycle these materials helps to prevent the need for extracting virgin materials from the earth, thus conserving more of our natural resources.E-cycling also reduces levels of
greenhouse gas emissions• The use of recycled materials essentially
consumes considerably less energy than the use of virgin materials when it comes to making new products. E-cycling helps protect our health as
well as the environment• E-cycling helps protect our health as well as
our environment by keeping these hazardous substances out of the incinerators and landfills.
Where Should We Recycle Our Electronics?
It is recommended that we recycle our electronics at BAN aka Basel Action Network-reviewed recycling centers.
If E-stewards are not available near you, you should contact the manufacturer of your electronic devices. By law, electronics manufacturers must provide recycling services to their consumers.
Recycling in general is very important for our environment, for our health and for our entire planet. We should make recycling our electronic waste as of a much a priority as we do when it comes to recycling other materials.
