The #Ewaste problem is something we can all work on to fix. - Think #TechRepair first. ALWAYS! Almost everything can be repaired. - Trade-in/donate tech you don't need/want. 2nd life = #TechReuse - At end-of-life make sure to properly dispose of it = #TechRecycle We can all do our part and we need help in the form of #RightToRepair legislation. OEMs like Apple & Samsung Electronics make it tough to fix things. For lower priced tech most companies take a "trash-it" approach to servicing the tech they sell. That all needs to change! At the Tech Care Association we're working on empowering community based tech #RepairPeople to take on more work in a major effort to help reduce e-waste. Because it all starts in the community. At the same time we're also building technology to make it easier to do the right thing. Join us, and let's work together to save the planet! https://lnkd.in/ergVFthT

As we take an organization-wide approach to adding recycling services and reducing non-diverted waste services, supported by educational programs to help our employees refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle we are excited about the impact these positive changes will have on our planet. Our Corporate ReUse (CR) program is a multifaceted operation that manages end-of-life processing for company technology equipment ranging from laptops and PCs to peripherals such as LCD monitors, hard drives, wires, printers, batteries, small electronics, and various metals. Once devices reach the end of their life cycles, CR removes all data before proper distribution by selling or donating technology equipment. In August 2023, we made a CR contribution of 93 laptops to Buffalo Prep, a nonprofit organization that focuses on providing educational opportunities and support for talented students from underrepresented backgrounds. “As an alumnus of this impactful nonprofit, my own journey reflects how Buffalo Prep works to empower young minds with tools to unlock educational opportunities, bridging the digital divide and fostering a future where every student can thrive.” Chavuanne Cousins, Head of Wealth Product Management and Member of Buffalo Prep Class of 1999 Learn more about how we are approaching recycling and reduction of waste on page 56 of M&T's latest Sustainability report: https://lnkd.in/g5VgJecn #Sustainability #SustainabilityReport

Useful and great without doubt.

This is great, but the sustainable way is to reduce/stop/find an alternative for plastics especially the single use plastics, such as cups, light shopping bags etc. it's been long overdue. I know my government lacks the political will to ban single use plastics. The discussion started some years ago but was not continued. I think there should be a collective global decision/plan and commitment towards the use and management of plastics and then devise alternatives to solve this menace. In Ghana, recycling is still something new, even when I try to not mix plastics with other waste, disposing off is a problem because there are no designated places for disposal and collection. As a means of employment for others, they go round to collect from home and then get in touch with those who may need the plastics and then trade. This can further be explored and scaled as many plastics are uncollected and end up in drains and eventually in rivers and the sea.
