Nothing goes to waste @ Hiflo Green

E-waste or electronic waste refers to industrial waste generated in the electronic industry along with discarded electronic products ranging from computers, equipment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), home appliances and peripherals of these devices. The rapid boom in the IT industry combined with industrialisation & urbanisation has led to a surge in the usage of electronic gadgets. The latter get out-of-fashion and redundant at a fast pace, because of which they are discarded more frequently. This generates large amounts of toxic e-waste.

Extending the life of electronic products and re-using electrical components brings an even larger economic benefit, as working devices are certainly worth more than the materials they contain. A circular electronics system – one in which resources are not extracted, used and wasted, but re-used in countless ways – creates decent, sustainable jobs and retains more value in the industry.

By all coming together on the global stage, we can create a sustainable industry that generates less waste and in which our devices are re-used as well as recycled in novel ways. This also creates new forms of employment, economic activity, education, and trade.
