If you didn’t know, waste is becoming a major problem in the world we live in. Landfills can only hold so much before they start to affect the surrounding areas and the water table below. But plastic isn’t our only problem. Electronic waste is on par with single-use plastics that fill those landfills. But what can businesses do on their part?

While people are finally realizing the importance of recycling and segregating waste, a huge amount of waste is still being produced every day. This ends up in landfills, ultimately affecting the environment. Among this waste is e-waste or electronic waste. This includes old mobile phones, laptops, broken TVs, etc.

While individuals contribute a lot to e-waste, it is the companies that play the biggest role in the accumulation of e-waste. This happens both during production and after consumption. The number of devices that are produced has increased exponentially, which in turn means that the number of devices that are thrown away is huge. This e-waste is becoming a real problem in our technologically advanced world.

Zero Waste operations is a concept that helps combat our growing problem of electronic waste disposal. The idea is aimed at manufacturing companies that generate a large percentage of the total waste. With the increasing use of electronics in almost every aspect of our lives, the disposal of e-waste is already a problem for us.
