eWaste Environmental Concerns
 
Electronic Waste Recycling:
 
Due to ongoing technological advancement, many electronic products become obsolete within a very short period of time, creating a large surplus of unwanted electronic products, or "e-waste". Disposing of e-waste in landfills has the potential to cause severe human and environmental health impacts. To avoid these risks, the Electronic Waste Recycling Act (Senate Bill 50) was signed into law in 2004. SB 50 established and funded a program for consumers to return, recycle, and ensure safe and environmentally sound disposal of covered electronic devices (CEDs).
 
Due to the ongoing environmental concerns associated with the handling as well as recycling of electronic devices of all types, eWaste Incorporated has taken it upon themselves to ensure that:
  1. No hazardous electronic waste will be sent to any landfills either directly or through intermediaries.
  2. No exporting of hazardous electronic waste will be sent to developing countries either directly or through intermediaries.
  3. No hazardous electronic waste will be sent to prisons for recycle either directly or through intermediaries.
  4. The entire recycling chain is meeting all applicable environmental and health regulations.

 
Companies need to recycle not only for the environment, but also because it's the LAW.

Universal Waste Rule:
California's "universal waste rule" (california code of regulations, title 22: 66273.10 through 6673.21) applies to CRT's and consumer electronic devices.

This rule states:

  • Any company that generates more than 5 and less than 200 CRT's of waste within a year is considered a small quantity universal waste handler.
  • All CRT's must be packaged when not in use.
  • All CRT's must be labeled or marked as universal waste.
  • Be certain that any employee who handles universal waste is trained in the proper handling requirements.
  • Use a bill of lading when shipping CRT's and keep a record of these shipments.
eWaste, Inc. professionals are trained in the proper handling of universal waste. This will save your company the headache of having to decide what procedures are within the scope of the law. Companies can also save themselves from hefty lawsuits that can occur from the mismanagement of waste.
