With the continued advances in technology, we’re constantly needing to update our devices in order to stay current but when you run a business and need to replace hundreds or thousands of devices, this can be pricey. That’s where the benefits of e-waste recycling for your business comes in.
One of the many benefits of e-waste recycling for your business is that you can regain some of your initial investment and apply it towards your new tech. This is a great way for small businesses, or businesses of any size, to save money and still be able to provide their employees with the latest and greatest.
Nobody likes working on outdated devices, whether it’s a computer or the office printer. Faulty equipment can lead to frustrated employees and a lack of efficiency since they have to continually find workarounds. Recycle those outdated devices, recover some of your initial investment, and give your employees the technology that they deserve.
Simply throwing away old office electronics is harmful to the environment, since they contain hazardous materials like mercury, lead, and arsenic. However, if you recycle them through an Asset Management service, like the one at Great Lakes Electronics, you protect the environment and save money–it’s a win-win.

Benefits of E-waste Recycling
Aside from saving you money, there are tons of benefits of e-waste recycling for your business. According to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, the electronic scrap recycling industry provides a boost of approximately $20.6 billion, including exports of $1.45 billion, to the U.S. economy and employs more than 45,000 full-time employees.
One of the major benefits of e-waste recycling for your business is that it keeps those devices full of toxic chemicals out of landfills. Just by recycling one computer and CRT monitor, you can save the energy equivalent of 21 gallons of gas and reduce greenhouse emissions by 404 pounds (or the CO2 equivalent).
If your company or organization has thousands of computers, recycling them will greatly reduce your carbon footprint and keep those toxins out of the soil and out of bodies of water, like rivers and streams.
Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions by significantly saving the amount of energy needed to manufacture the products that we use. Not to mention, manufacturing companies save a sizable amount of money when they purchase recycled materials and those savings are eventually passed down to you, the consumer. So you not only recover money by recycling your e-waste but you also save money when you buy your new equipment.
