What is E-Waste/E-Scrap :

E-waste is essentially electronic waste, also called E-scrap or E-scrap. Often, broken or obsolete electronics create electronic waste or E-waste. It is not always possible to properly dispose of e-waste, which can cause environmental damage. Almost every aspect of our lives has been impacted by this negative development. Heating and air conditioning equipment contribute the most to the accumulation of e-waste.

Small and medium-sized businesses can also help save the environment by recycling or disposing of their electronic scraps properly, even though large corporations are the principal contributors to e-waste accumulation.

This is where BayTech Recovery excels. If you work with us, you can rest assured that your e-waste has been recycled or disposed of in the most environmentally-friendly manner.

E-waste Reduction and Recycling:

In the manufacturing process of these devices, rare materials are used which lead to their embodied energy being huge. We save resources and energy by reducing the amount of e-waste we produce.

If all the precious metals and plastics in old cell phones were reused instead of being manufactured or mined, it would be equivalent to turning off the power to 24,000 US homes for a whole year. According to the EPA, households in the U.S. have 24 electronic devices, and there are 2.37 million tons of electronics ready for disposal in 2009. Nearly five stadiums' worth of electronics are destined for the landfill!

  • Re-examine: Is that gadget really necessary? Maybe it can be combined with another device.
  • You can extend the life of your electronic devices. Don't overcharge your battery, buy a case, and keep it clean.
  • Consider purchasing eco-friendly electronics. Consider products with Energy Star labels or EPEAT certifications.
  • Make a difference by donating used electronics to social causes, including domestic violence victims, children's safety initiatives, and environmental causes. Postage-paid mailers for cell phones and ink cartridges are available from your student REP. World Wildlife Fund will receive one dollar for each item received.
  • Recycling large electronics is a good idea. Post to the Bay Tech Recovery Reuse List.
  • Located around campus are e-waste recycling bins for recycling electronics and batteries. In your building, you can put larger electronics in the larger bins.

Here are four benefits that e-scrap services can provide your company:

There are many advantages to recycling electronic scrap, especially for businesses. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for e-waste recycling, but certified companies like Bay Tech Recovery, offer these benefits to businesses.

Value to the Organisation :

The ITAD or e-waste recycling service is a well-kept secret that is used by SMEs, medium-sized companies, and Fortune 500 companies to boost their revenue strategies for decades. Maybe you've seen ads for scrap metal buyers who pay cash for scrap metal. Electronic scrap, outdated technology, and outdated technology can also be sold for cash by e-waste companies like Bay Tech Recovery.

How does the process work? A process that begins with an inventory and audit of your materials depends on the volume and amount of equipment your organization recycles. In the next step, electronics recyclers like Bay Tech Recovery determine an approximate value by considering two factors: refurbished products that can be resold (after sensitive data has been securely erased and wiped) and resold products that will need to be shredded and sold as raw materials. You may still be able to get value from your old electronic equipment. A responsible recycling partner like Bay Tech Recovery will allow your organization to make money for later technology needs or to save for a rainy day.

Stewardship of the environment:

E-scrap helps protect our planet, which is perhaps the most obvious and impactful benefit of these services. Having your company's old electronics recycled with an R2 certified organization makes sure that these materials, no matter how large or small, don't end up in landfills. If some of your equipment is wiped and refurbished, it can offer a wonderful technology solution to a new end-user after a second or third life. Can all the raw parts of your equipment be recycled if it is truly obsolete or unusable? Electronics sold by third-party sellers usually do not do this...which results in hard drives, wires, mobile phones, tablets, and the like ending up in landfills. Considering the negative effects massive piles of trash (and the toxic chemicals within) have had and will continue to have on our water sources, air we breathe, and global warming, it is clear why massive piles of trash are so detrimental. The environmentally conscious choice is easy, if you consider the alternative!

Morale in the workplace:

It is also beneficial to your employee morale to work with an e-waste recycling company that is well-vetted, certified and responsible. It seems that more and more employees are drawn to companies that make a positive impact on the world while doing good work in their communities. You can demonstrate your corporate responsibility to your employees by encouraging e-scrap recycling. You can further simplify the process by hosting electronic recycling drives for your employees with e-waste recycling companies like Bay Tech Recovery. E-cycling drives give employees the chance to clean out their personal clutter and take care of the Earth at the same time. Your business will likely partner with an e-scrap company to recycle corporate equipment, but your employees can take advantage of them to recycle their electronic waste as well!

Security:

The final benefit of an e-waste recycling company is the benefit of security for your business. Obviously, only well-respected, certified, and responsible organizations can offer this service. Businesses must have certifications in order to prove what they claim to do is true and that they are licensed to do the activities they claim. In dealing with a professional business, it goes without saying that one of the first things you check is the kind and degree of certifications they have.

By hiring us, you can be certain that we will accomplish everything we claim to accomplish and that we will have all of the necessary paperwork to prove that we do it professionally and with the right expertise. The company has a wide range of certifications and accreditations that attest to the fact that its procedures are environmentally friendly and that it understands and upholds the impact that those procedures have on people, companies, and society as a whole.

Choosing a certified and responsible recycler gives you the peace of mind that all hard drives and data will be safely wiped or shredded and that the information will be securely destroyed!
