Did you know?
So much of what we consume every year goes to waste. Quantum is looking to change that.
- E-waste around the world is more than 41.8 million tonnes, which represents tens of millions of dollars in potentially reusable resources. That’s why recycling is so important.
- Recycling the 2,123,820 lbs of e-waste generated by the people in Oakville is a priority.
- Recycling one million laptops saves enough energy to power 3600 average homes in North America for a year.
- Since e-waste is highly toxic, many developed countries pay to ship end-of-life devices to third-world countries, generally in Asia and Africa. Shipping dangerous e-waste to countries without the infrastructure to properly deal with it amplifies the effect that e-waste has on the environment.

Smartphone Recycling in Oakville
Smartphones contain valuable materials including gold, silver, and lithium batteries. Without proper recycling, these resources go to waste. Furthermore, should they wind up in landfills, the lithium batteries in smartphones pose risks of fire and explosion. We work with Oakville businesses and municipalities to make smartphone recycling convenient. Quantum is also fully certified, so you can rest assured any personal data is properly destroyed and your smartphones are recycled responsibly.
Quantum can help Oakville with e-waste
Oakville is home to several unique industries, many falling under the life science sector. There is a local emphasis on pharmaceutical development and elder care, as well as a substantial digital media, ICT, and film industry. Many foreign companies have chosen to establish their Canadian headquarters in Oakville.
These advanced fields require lots of technological support. Unfortunately, that translates to a hefty amount of e-waste.
