Our commitment to responsible recycling is the cornerstone of our mission. The proliferation of electronic equipment has allowed society to make great strides over the past few decades but the planet is starting to pay the price for our technological advances. Millions of pieces of electronic equipment become obsolete every year. In the US alone, over 200 million computers and as many cell phones will be discarded this year. The infrastructure to handle these items is not yet in place and unfortunately the easy option is to dispose of equipment in landfills. Not a good solution when you consider that many electronic commodities contain potentially toxic materials such as heavy metals, lead, mercury and cadmium. The consequences for human health and the environment are potentially catastrophic.
EWS-I is committed to keeping electronics out of the world’s landfills. Our goal is landfill. We are making great progress towards this goal by continuing to researching new and innovative uses for discarded materials.
Conventional thinking promotes the idea that discarded electronics are a waste and therefore there is an expense associated with disposal. Financial directors and accountants practicing traditional cost accounting depreciate electronic assets over their “useful life” – typically considered to be between five and seven years. At EWS-I we are rewriting traditional cost accounting handbooks by helping companies transform waste events into revenue events. Our team will work with your company to identify waste events in your business and implement solutions for maximizing recovery revenue.
