E-Waste or E-Cycling:

Together with our strategic partners, we are now actively recycling and then disposing of Dunedin city’s computers and peripheral equipment.

The environmental sector is becoming increasingly more important to businesses and the public as we all look to become more responsible for our environmental impact. Additionally, proactive Dunedin businesses’ are looking for more cost effective solutions and so they are finding that Cargill Enterprises is well positioned to help offer and/or develop solutions.

Computer equipment includes desktop computers, notebooks (laptops), monitors and accessories such as printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, speakers and cables. Although computer equipment has made our life much easier, it has also created a new type of waste: electronic waste or e-waste for short. E-waste is the fastest growing type of municipal waste in the world. In Europe it is growing at three times the rate of other municipal waste.

DID YOU KNOW THAT CRT monitors can contain an average of one kg of lead?

Unwanted computer equipment that is properly disassembled and recycled can reduce the use of natural resources (needed to manufacture new products) and prevent hazardous substances from entering the environment. Between 70 and 90 per cent of the material in scrap computer equipment (by weight) is potentially recyclable or reusable. Materials such as steel, aluminium, copper, glass and some

Plastics can be recycled.
