For Households
Why does my device need to be handled properly?
Electrical – electronic device contains a complex mixture of materials, components and other substances. Some substances in this mixture are harmful to human health and the environment. Although they do not pose a hazard during the normal use, these substances may become hazardous when the devices are improperly dismantled and handled.
If we send electronic waste to landfills or be dismantled by non-professionals, we will face the risk that these toxic substances will seep into soil, water and air. This will cause negative impacts on the environment and local people’s life.

Moreover, recycling will help us reduce our dependency on the depleting natural resources. Metals, plastics and glass contained in devices can be reused if properly recovered through recycling.
