Sustainability

Why take care of old electrical equipment?

E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste categories. By properly managing e-waste,
we support the efficient use of valuable resources as well as the protection of human
health and nature. In this way, we contribute to ensuring a sustainable future.

Air

Discarded devices may contain harmful substances. Burning or melting materials causes air pollution that can travel thousands of kilometres away. This causes numerous risks to both humans and animals.

Soil

If e-waste is not properly disposed of, heavy metals can leach into the soil and remain there for a long time. Crops grown on site or nearby are subsequently contaminated.

Water

Heavy metals from e-waste seep through soil into groundwater. In this way, they continue to reach ponds, lakes and rivers, that is, far away from the place where e-waste was improperly managed.

People

Components in e-waste such as mercury, lead or lithium have negative health effects. We protect human health by ensuring the take-back, collection and safe processing of end-of-life electrical equipment.
