Valoritec is a nonprofit organization that promotes recycling and proper management of electronic and information technology waste (E-waste).
Estimation say that there is about 140 000 tons of e-waste are sent to landfills every year in Canada.
In 2006, it’s about 39 000 tons of residues coming from information and communications technologies were produced
in Québec alone. Televisions were accountable for about half of this amount and 6000 tons of these were computers.
A computer tower and a cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor are composed of toxic substances such as lead, cadmium, beryllium and mercury.
These products are considered potential risks for human or animal health and for the environment if they are not handled properly.
Recycling doesn’t only help to reduce waste. It has many other environmental and economical advantages such as creating jobs,
preserving natural resources and allowing more energy savings.
It is the responsibility of each individual to dispose of their e-waste in a proper and ecological way.
By confiding us your old computer equipment, you are contributing to help maintain the environment!
