E-waste & Media Destruction Melbourne
At Limitless, we provide a full range of commercial e-waste solutions for businesses across Australia.
E-waste (electronic waste) is anything with a plug, cord, battery, sim which is no longer working or wanted.
The Victorian Government has legally prohibited all e-waste from landfill, due to which all the e-waste is sent for recycling. E-waste is segregated, shredded, sorted and then recycled into new items. E-waste contains potentially hazardous and valuable materials, which do not belong in landfill.
Why E Waste A Problem?
E-waste is one of the fastest growing contributors to landfill waste in Australia and one of the biggest contributors of toxic chemicals like lead, mercury and cadmium. Old computers, ipads, mobiles, light bulbs, smoke detectors, whitegoods, batteries, automobile spare parts contribute to the e-waste and should be collected, repurposed or recycled. As a result, it is now illegal to send commercial e-waste to landfill. There are now strict guidelines for e-waste recycling, processing and disposal that businesses must adhere to.
E Waste Solutions
We provide comprehensive e-waste management solutions carried out in line with all relevant state and territory legislation and guidelines and in an environmentally friendly way. Our e-waste solutions are designed to reduce landfill and minimise chemical contamination, reduce your carbon footprint and provide a simple and streamlined service for your business. We can help if your business, work or department is currently upgrading its equipment, moving offices or simply doing a clean-out. Many of the components that make up electronic technology can be recycled for other uses. For example, 90% of the materials in a mobile phone handset can be recovered and reused. Sixty per cent to 90% of future greenhouse gas emissions can be avoided by using these recycled materials
Managing e-waste is about more than just the careful and responsible recycling, destruction and disposal of electronic waste. We also work to ensure the absolute security of your data by degaussing all electronic waste to ensure that all personal data and information has been permanently deleted and cannot be retrieved.
We work with a range of major clients that take data security very seriously and trust us to properly manage and dispose of their e-waste is a responsible and secure way. Give us a call and find out what Limitless can do for you.
Solution to Minimize E-waste:
Following are the solutions to help achieve E waste minimisation
Re-assess. Is that extra electronic gadget truly necessary? Try to find a device that has several functionalities.
Increase the lifespan of your electronics by purchasing a case for your device, keep it clean, and avoid overcharging the battery.
Purchase eco-friendly electronics. Look for green certified products.
Donate used gadgets to social programmes to assist victims of domestic violence, child safety efforts, environmental causes, and other more.
Large electronics and gadgets should be reused.
Our Process of E-waste Recycling Solution
E-waste recycling is done both formally and informally.
E-waste recycling properly or formally usually entails disassembling the electronics, isolating and categorising the contents by substance, and cleaning them.
Items are then mechanically shredded before being sorted using modern separation methods. Companies must follow health and safety regulations and utilise pollution-control technologies to reduce the health and environmental risks associated with e-waste disposal. All of this raises the cost of formal recycling. As a result, many businesses and governments illegally ship e-waste to developing countries where recycling is inexpensive.
