E-waste is described as discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling or disposal are also considered E-waste.

Informal processing of E-waste can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution. For too long, metals such as mercury and lead found in computers and other E-waste have been buried in landfill, leaving the toxins to leach into the ground and waterways. 

Dismantling, crushing, recycling or refurbishing waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), if poorly managed, has the potential to release toxic substances into the environment and to endanger human health. The management of WEEE involves manual handling, storage and transportation of heavy and bulky items, so health and safety issues must also be considered. It is essential that the environmental and health and safety risks are identified and proactively managed by reuse and recycling operators.

Divers Group helps corporates manage waste - printer ink cartridges, mobile phones, printersm computer monitors, televisions and small appliances such as microwaves and vacuum cleaners.
