The Problem!
Every year, 155,000 tonnes of electronic items are wasted or just thrown away (That is approximately the same weight as 38,750 elephants). These are the items that could have been saved or recycled.
This has a negative impact on the environment because these resources could have been used somewhere else. This could also mean that it would have made a big difference to our climate change too.
Why is recycling important?
The answer is really straight forward honestly - So it doesn't have a negative impact on the natural environment.
The amount pollution from electrical waste is increasing rapidly. Recycling your unwanted electronic equipment at the end of their life can be beneficial as parts can be salvaged and reused for something else.
What is E-Waste?
The term E-Waste is a becoming a popular term, and is short for Electronic Waste. E-waste includes anything with electronic components, plugs and cords.
When an electronic product is coming at the end of its life, it is sometimes left outside, until someone comes to collect it.
Why do we use aluminium for our heaters?
We use aluminium for our heaters which can be easily recycled and reused. The best thing about aluminium is that even when it has been recycled, it will never lose its quality. You can find out more here.
