E-Waste #FunFact 1️⃣ Did you know that proper handling of electronic waste can reduce #carbonfootprint⁉️

What is Carbon Footprint ?

It represents the total amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (including carbon dioxide and methane) during the life cycle or activity of a person, product, or an organisation. It is measured and expressed in 【carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e)】.

 

Why does it matter?

Excessive carbon footprint leads to environmental problems such as

How does recycling e-waste help to reduce carbon footprint?

 

E-waste contains valuable materials like #metals, #plastics, and #glass, which can be

recycled and reused, for new products

avoid more mining and manufacturing of new raw materials, thereby

helping to reduce a significant amount of carbon emissions.

 

*It is estimated that when you produce new electronics from recycled components, only 10% of the original CO2 emissions are released in the process.

 

Recycling e-waste from landfills reduces methane emissions, which are 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.

 

Since electronic products have become a necessity for modern society, let’s choose recycling over disposal.
