EnvironmentAccording to the Environmental Protection Agency, in 2007, the United States generated 2.25 million tons of E-waste, of which only 414,000 tons (18%) was collected for recycling. The rest was disposed of primarily in landfills. In the past two decades, the use of electronic products has grown substantially.The advancements in technology have permanently changed the way and the speed in which we communicate and receive information. Unfortunately, the disposal methods of these products have not changed much. If these products are not processed properly for disposal, it can have detrimental impacts on the environments. eContinuity only partners with downstream ethical recycler's that have been audited and qualified to our standards. Our qualified partners process all electronic components in accordance with our strict contractual requirements, which in many cases exceed minimum regulatory statutes. We work only with ethical, EPA-compliant recycling partners, and regularly audit and closely monitor their practices to ensure they meet all state and federal standards. |
