They include everything from the changing regulatory landscape to competition from landfills and cheap <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumlifecycle.com\/en_CA\/blog\/celebrate-waste-reduction-week-in-canada-this-october\/\">recycling options<\/a> in developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause we do recycling properly,\u201d Diamond says, \u201cit costs a little bit more. So one of the most difficult parts of this business for us is actually <i>finding<\/i> material to recycle.\u201d Once sourced however, Diamond explains how processing e-waste presents its own set of challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe nature of electronics continues to change rapidly. What we received five years ago is drastically different to what we\u2019re receiving today \u2013 and it\u2019s going to be drastically different to what we receive five years from now. That requires upgrades and changes to processes and equipment, and it has an impact on capital decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">How Recycling Old Electronics Has Changed<\/h2>\n<p>Some of the key changes Diamond has witnessed in <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumlifecycle.com\/en_CA\/blog\/how-quantum-identified-the-most-carbon-efficient-transportation-route-for-moving-e-waste\/\">electronics recycling<\/a> since getting into the business in 2010 include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a major decline in the volume of tube-style TVs which, from a recycler\u2019s perspective, has meant a decreased total weight \u2013 and decreased total available margin &#8211; of electronics being scrapped<\/li>\n<li>a reduction in the quality, and subsequent recycled commodity value, of electronics materials as manufacturers figure out ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumlifecycle.com\/en_CA\/blog\/the-virtues-of-reuse-over-recycling\/\">reduce<\/a> production costs<\/li>\n<li><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a>an increase in the number of products containing batteries, which require a significant amount of front-end labour to remove before mechanical processing<\/li>\n<li>a rise in the volume of electronics components manufactured from <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumlifecycle.com\/blog\/plastics-recycling-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">low-value plastics<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cRecycling unwanted electronics is <i>not<\/i> like recycling an old aluminum can,\u201d says Diamond. \u201cIt\u2019s more like recycling an old can mixed with 15 other commodities. It\u2019s a challenge to separate them. And since it can involve 10 different types of plastic, a lot of commodities are costly to process but yield very little in value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hazardous materials like lead and mercury &#8211; inherent in many electronics \u2013 and the surprisingly large manual labour force required, only add to the challenge of recycling old electronics where safety and costs are concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, hurdles outside the walls of the processing plants extend to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a need for more effective infrastructure to ensure e-waste is sent to the proper facilities (landfill bans and stewardship programs help with this),<\/li>\n<li>educating the public on what recycled commodities are, and the value they represent, and<\/li>\n<li>making businesses aware of the potential for a <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumlifecycle.com\/en_CA\/blog\/common-myths-about-hard-drive-destruction\/\">data breach<\/a> should they neglect to deal with a reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumlifecycle.com\/en_CA\/blog\/a-guide-to-mobile-device-management-for-businesses\/\">electronics recycler<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Challenges in Recycling Call for Creative Solutions<\/h2>\n<p>But with great challenges come even greater solutions. And as far as Diamond is concerned, the <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumlifecycle.com\/en_CA\/blog\/the-future-of-electronic-waste-innovations-in-e-waste-recycling-technologies\/\">e-waste recycling<\/a> industry offers endless opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings are far more automated today than they were seven or eight years ago. And we now have the opportunity to process materials a great deal further \u2013 to a far cleaner and more saleable commodity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to overcoming the challenges of recycling old electronics, you have to be creative according to Diamond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve always got to be thinking about doing things differently and better. Promoting a culture of continuous improvement is a big part of that. And because everything we touch represents a cost, maintaining a facility that\u2019s incredibly efficient in terms of getting material in as a whole unit &#8211; and out again as a saleable commodity \u2013 is vital. That\u2019s what Quantum does. We designed our company that way, and that\u2019s how we continue to run it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just as technology is always changing, so too are the methods to properly recycle it.
