08-19-2008 Weekly Meeting - E-cycling in the State of Oregon
ReTronics is dedicated to protecting the environment and public health through the responsible recycling of electronics equipment.
Why is it important to recycle e-waste?
Electronic equipment is made with a variety of elements, like plastics, glass, steel, gold, lead, mercury, cadmium and fire retardants that can be recaptured through recycling and used again. If thrown away, electronic equipment can release toxins to the environment, potentially polluting the groundwater we drink and the air that we breathe. Recycling the resources in electronic equipment and also eliminates the need to obtain these elements from nature, decreasing production impact on the environment.
