Electronic Recycling Australia
Our homes and businesses pile up with unwanted items creating clutter.
Australians discard millions of electrical and electronic goods every year. All you need to do is drive down any street to see the number of unwanted electrical and electronic goods discarded on footpaths.
This collective mountain of unwanted electrical and electronic goods is an exponentially growing challenge that is harming our environment. There is a need to ensure these goods are properly collected and recycled, due to the toxic and hazardous materials. And when they go to landfill, they cause soil and water contamination that is harmful to our environment. What’s more, the vast majority – up to 95% – of the materials in these goods can be reused or recycled.
Electronic Recycling Australia is an initiative of Minda Inc, a major employer of more than 450 supported workers across a highly successful range of commercial enterprises.
In addition to creating hundreds of ongoing employment opportunities for South Australians, these social enterprises help to support the economic prosperity of the state.
