Waste is generated everywhere
starting from household to industrial, medical to hazardous and chemical. The world is consumed by waste and there is no hiding from it. When it comes to unused
and obsolete computer and computer parts, electronics and electronic
components, it’s even more difficult to dismantle, because they are not-
biodegradable. We are as responsible citizens;
it’s our duty to preserve our environment from this hazardous e-waste materials.
E-waste a Concern!
E-waste consists of toxic waste
including hazardous metals and non-metals. When e-Waste disposal reaches
landfills, waterways, and other ignition sites, it affects our health and other
animals and the environment as a whole. Once these harmful elements are released
into the atmosphere, they contaminate water and soil along with causing
innumerable adverse health conditions.
These are the most important steps to
follow:
·
Reduction
of the volume of e-waste generated and ensures proper hazardous waste
segregation. Appropriate handling, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste reduce
costs and helps in protecting public health.
·
Before
safe transportation of e-Waste, all necessary compliance documents should be
properly arranged.
·
Choose safe and environmentally compatible treatment of hazardous e-waste
When categorizing e-waste, analyze these four characteristics:
·
Ignitability-something
flammable
·
Corrosivity-something
that can rust or decompose
·
Reactivity-something
explosive
·
Toxicity-something
poisonous
According to a recent study by the UN,
the world generates approximately 44.7
million metric tonnes of so-called “e-waste” in 2016. Being at the forefront of
e-Waste Abu Dhabi, Virogreen has incorporated the appropriate technologies and
resources for global e-Waste management in Abu Dhabi to individuals, industries
and other organizations for the safe collection and disposal of e-waste. Our staffs are well-trained and
well-experienced and have the required expertise in treating any kind of
e-Wastes in small or bulk quantities.
