The natural resources inventory is depleting, while at the same time the need for electronics keeps increasing. To protect the planet against exhaustion, we extract natural resources from disposed electr(on)ic devices.
According to the Global e-waste monitor report, about 54 million tons of electronic devices are discarded annually. This is a growing problem. Estimations show that this figure will increase to 74 million tons by the year 2030. This trend emphasizes the necessity of a circular economy in light of climate and health risks – Antonis Mavropoulos, ISWA President. That’s why we promote the reuse and safe processing of these products, instead of discarding them.
The retention of natural resources by recycling electronics is environmentally responsible, but Mirec is also socially responsible. At the core of our business is MVO (Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Ondernemen – Socially Responsibly Entrepreneurship), in which we care mostly about general well-being.
