Clean To Green
Introduction
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the 
end of their “useful life.” Mobile Phones, Smart Phones, Feature phone, I 
Phones, Laptop, Desktop, Thin Clients, Air Conditioners, Televisions, 
Refrigerators, Washing Machines, VCDs, stereos, copiers, and fax 
machines are common electronic products. Many of these products can 
be reused, refurbished, or recycled.
E-waste has been one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. 
While e-waste contains valuable materials such as aluminium, copper, 
gold, palladium and silver, it also contains harmful substances like 
cadmium, lead and mercury. In the absence of proper awareness, 
disposing e-waste in landfill can result in toxic emissions to the air, water 
and soil and pose a serious health and environmental hazards.
Benefit of recycling of E-waste:
• E-waste contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminum, copper, gold, silver, 
plastics, and ferrous metals. In order to conserve natural resources and the energy needed to produce 
new electronic equipment from virgin resources, electronic equipment can be refurbished, reused, and 
recycled instead of being land filled.
• E-waste also contains toxic and hazardous materials including mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium, 
chromium, and chemical flame retardants, which have the potential to leach into our soil and water.
• Protects your surroundings- Safe recycling of outdated electronics promotes sound management of 
toxic chemicals such as lead and mercury.
• Conserves natural resources- Recycling recovers valuable materials from old electronics that can be 
used to make new products. As a result, we save energy, reduce pollution, reduce greenhouse gas 
emissions, and save resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.
• Helps others – Donating your used electronics benefits your community by passing on ready-to-use or 
refurbished equipment to those who need it.
• Saves landfill space – E-waste is a growing waste stream. By recycling these items, landfill space is 
conserved.
