The Importance of Electronic Waste Management in Facilities

Understanding the growing challenge of e-waste and implementing professional disposal solutions for electronic devices

Electronic waste is witnessing a significant increase as a result of the growing reliance on technical devices in various types of facilities, whether industrial, commercial, educational, or medical. This waste includes: computers, printers, screens, cables, dry batteries, and damaged electronic components. These materials are classified as hazardous waste due to their content of heavy metals and toxic substances that affect the environment and public health.

Storing these devices within the facility without proper environmental disposal exposes the facility to significant risks, starting from accumulation and unprofessional appearance, and ending with environmental penalties that may affect the reputation of the activity and its licenses.
