E-Scrap Facts
Be informed and learn how recycling e-scrap can help the environment. Making a cleaner earth, one computer at a time.
According to the CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) every household in the United States has at least 24 electronic products.
Recycling one million laptops saves the energy equivalent to the electricity used by 3,657 U.S. homes in a year.
Only 12.5% of e-waste is currently recycled.
Electronic waste represents 70% of the toxic waste put into our landfills.
We generate around 40 million tons of electronic waste every year, worldwide. That's like throwing away 800 laptops every second.
