E-waste Recyclers

July 13th, 2007

Obsolete electronics require professional disposal because of the health and information security issues that crop up.

End-of-life-electronics are hazardous because they can contain lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, beryllium, nickel, zinc, and brominated flame retardants.

Furthermore, not-for-profit groups are careful about the types of obselete equipment they accept because of the responsibilities such as the security of the personal and financial information stored on hard drives, and operating systems unaccompanied by software licenses.

Two stocks listed on the Singapore Exchange dealing with e-waste include Centillion and Enviro-Hub.
