Reduce, Reuse, Recycle E-waste with Mswipe!

E-waste is one of the fastest-growing types of waste, it is a popular name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Mobile phones, smartphones, feature phones, laptops, desktops, and cameras are common consumer electronic wastes.

Mswipe Technologies Pvt. Ltd, understands the importance of encouraging the recycling of all useful and valuable materials from E-waste in order to conserve the ever-depleting natural resources. Recycling discarded materials at the end of the product life is essential if we want to conserve materials and reduce waste as E-waste consists of elements like aluminum, copper, gold, palladium, silver, cadmium, lead, mercury etc, which if dumped in an unknown landfill, can lead to toxic releases into air, water and soil and seriously raise health and environmental risks.

Mswipe Technologies Pvt. Ltd. with the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change and Government of India together are committed to implementing E-waste regulations according to the E-Waste (Management) Act, 2016. Mswipe Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is engaged with a recycler to make it easier for our customers to dispose of E-waste products at the end of their product life.

Benefits of E-waste recycling:

* Protected environment - Safely recycling old electronics promotes the safe handling of toxic chemicals like lead and mercury.

* Conserve Natural Resources - Recycling reclaims valuable resources from old electronics that can be recycled. As a result, we conserve energy, reduce pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect resources by removing less material from the earth.
