The world is facing a global e-waste problem and businesses of all sizes have a part to play in fixing it.
E-waste includes any electronic devices or electrical and electronic equipment that are no longer wanted, and improper disposal can release toxic chemicals into the environment.
Over 50 million tonnes of e-waste were produced worldwide, with only around 20% being properly disposed of.
SMEs can make a difference by knowing what's considered e-waste, setting up an e-waste policy, working with trusted recyclers, raising awareness among staff, and buying smart and thinking circular.
