Electronics Recycling in London

Did you know?

So much of what we consume every year goes to waste. Quantum is looking to change that.

• The amount of e-waste generated worldwide is equivalent to throwing away 800 laptops every second.
• There are hundreds of substances in electronics, including toxic chemicals and metals like mercury, arsenic, lead, selenium, and cadmium.
• E-waste also includes valuable metals like gold, silver, palladium, and copper. If all the metals were recovered from the electronics discarded in Canada in 2019, they would be worth more than $57 billion.
• The e-waste produced globally in 2020 is roughly equivalent to 350 cruise ships.

Computer Recycling in London, Ontario

Computers contain a lot of materials that shouldn’t end up in a landfill, from hazardous chemicals like mercury and lead to valuable metals and materials.
