E-waste is a term given to electronic, computer and technology products nearing the end of their product life cycle or "useful life" that have become worn, broken or defective. Electronic, computer and technology products, components, devices and gadgets like, computers, monitors, printers, copiers, fax machines, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, radios and cell phones are among some of the most commonly discarded electronics. Many of these products can be Recycled, Remarketed, or Reduced. Unfortunately, electronic waste or e-waste is one of the fastest, growing, segments of our nation's vast waste stream.

DESCRIPTION

Recycling has been practiced for decades. The need to recycle rose during the "Great Depression" of the 1930's. It became popular again during the 1970's and then declined, but because of the rise in popularity and use of electronics and computers, the need for recycling and it's benefits is back!

E-cycling is the term used to describe the process for electronic waste disposal which encompasses, both electronics recycling and computer recycling. Kansas ewaste recycler, Electronix Recyclers Inc. follows the Reuse, Reduce and Recycle process in handling e-waste at it's Wichita recycling center.

Recycling is the process of turning used materials into new products. It's a key part of modern waste reduction and the "Reuse, Reduce and Recycle" waste hierarchy. It's benefits include, reduction of fresh raw materials and energy usage, reduction of air, land and water pollution and reduction of other potentially harmful elements in our environment.

The process includes:

1. Electronics and computer equipment is received and marked for inventory. It is tested and evaluated to see if it can be used for it's original purpose. If so, it's cleaned, refurbished and hard drives are erased in accordance with DOD standards. Equipment is then resold to consumers or companies or donated for reuse.

2. Non functioning or defective equipment is reduced or broken down into it's core component parts and base materials. All tags and stickers are removed and it is separated before it is sold to reprocessors and other carefully screened, buyers who will eventually utilize these commodities in the manufacturing of brand new products.

3. Finally, all other unrecycleable equipment is reduced or broken down into it's core component parts and base materials. All tags and stickers are removed and it is separated before it is sold to reprocessors or other carefully screened, buyers who will salvage certain materials or commodities because of their intrinsic value or hazardous nature.

The first step in the modern process of e-cycling or electronic waste processing procedures involves collecting, tagging and logging of e-waste. During this step, items are identified, tagged and logged as part of the inventory procedure.

The second step in the process of e-cycling or computer recycling processing procedures involves inspecting and evaluating the e-waste. During this step it is determined whether or not e-cycleable items are reusable or remarketable. If the items contain data, the data is destroyed by physical destruction or removed by DBAN. This ensures due diligence in computer recycling, helps to prevent Viruses, Identity Theft and further forensic analysis.

The third step in the modern process of e-cycling or electronic waste processing procedures involves demanufacturing. This is the step where e-cycleable items are dismantled often by hand which provides local jobs and parts and components are separated and processed through downstream reprocessors.

Pollution across all mediums remains one of the largest environmental challenges we face in today's world. The steps taken in this e-cycling process help reduce production pollution, packaging waste and transportation costs. Electronix Recyclers has remarketed to the US and places around the world!
