Ewaste
E-waste in developing countries causes several serious problems, mainly due to unprofessional, dangerous, and incomplete disassembly processes.
Some people attempt to earn money through e-waste by disassembling it and locally selling the metal and copper. The unprofessional disassembling process which is commonly used is a harmful and dangerous process for human health and for the health of the ecosystem.
The amount of electronics that organizations and people use is growing. At the same time, the life of equipment is getting shorter. This is creating a worldwide explosion of electronic waste.

The Ewaste Foundation’s aim is to decrease the e-waste problem in developing countries. We are a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands, though the scope of the Ewaste Foundation is global. Our donation partners, knowledge partners, and e-waste projects span the continents.
In short, we neutralize the fact that your used electronics, when given a “second life” in developing countries, will end up there as e-waste. By purchasing certificates and letting us address this problem, you take responsibility for this important aspect of the recycling chain.
