There are significant costs associated with the responsible disposal of E-Waste. File 13 combines low overhead with processing that meets the highest standards for environmental and social responsibility. We make Responsible Electronics Recycling cost effective, so we can ALL afford to do the right thing.
"Free" disposal is only possible without regulation, and without the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility. Why is E-Waste exported to developing nations? Because international scrap brokers bank on the non-existant environmental standards and virtually free labor that developing nations represent. Why do some companys use prison labor for dismantling E-Waste? Virtually free labor and lax environmental and worker safety standards.
When high profits trump social and environmental responsibility,
the world suffers in many ways.
