Some E-Cycling Facts

• According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), an estimated 438 million electronic products were sold in 2009. That’s double the sales from 1997! This huge increase is driven by a nine-fold increase in mobile device sales.
• The EPA estimates that in 2005, the U.S. discarded 1.5 to 1.9 million tons, or 3 billion pounds, of computers, TVs, VCRs, monitors, cell phones and other equipment.
• Cell phones and other electronic devices not only contain hazardous material like lead, mercury and cadmium, but they also contain precious metals like gold and silver. It is estimated that in the United States alone, consumers dump more than $60 million in gold and silver a year!
• At PlasMet, all hazardous material that exists within some electronic devices are removed or contained prior to or during processing. We manage these dangerous materials in full compliance with all regulatory requirements. Leave it to the pros (that’s us!)
