25 Tonnes of E-Waste Saved from Landfills in 1 Year in Sydney
For immediate release
Do you know how much electronic waste pollutes our environment every year? It’s a growing concern globally, and Australia is no exception. ITC Asset Management, an e-waste management company based in Sydney, has successfully diverted 25 tonnes of e-waste from landfills over the past year.
Instead of dumping e-waste into a landfill, they collect it, process it, and refurbish where they can, for the purpose of reusing electronics. This reduces environmental impact and gives old devices a new lease on life.
ITC Asset Management has over 12 years of experience in environmentally sustainable recycling. It offers comprehensive e-waste solutions across Sydney. Their services include free pickup and recycling of unused computer equipment, and certified data destruction, adhering to the highest data destruction standard, ensuring compliance with the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) standards.
“Our mission has always been to reduce environmental impact through innovative and sustainable recycling solutions. Keeping used electronics out of landfills, we help protect the planet and support a cleaner, greener community.” Dhanushka Soysa, CEO of ITC Asset Management, added.
Among the most collected E-waste items were hard drives, tape drives, and IP phones.
