In today’s digital world, electronic devices are crucial for business success, but they also create a challenge: electronic waste (e-waste). Properly managing e-waste is essential to protect the environment, comply with laws, and show corporate responsibility. Here’s why it’s important and how your company can create a sustainable e-waste policy with Ewaste.

Steps to Create a Policy:
- Assessment: Identify old or unused electronics. Sort them for recycling based on their type.
- Choose a Recycling Partner: Select a reputable recycling company like Ewaste. Ensure they meet standards and provide certificates for recycling and data destruction.
