Collaborating with Non-profit Trade Associations Helps Companies

Companies in the e-scrap recycling market are facing several challenges that are negatively affecting market growth. Exporting e-waste to developing countries leads to health risks for workers who dismantle electronic devices involving hazardous and toxic materials. Inefficient recycling infrastructure in developing countries has led to numerous health and environmental concerns.

Although the volume of e-waste is multiplying, the quality of e-waste is getting affected, as devices are becoming smaller and smaller as a result of product developments. As a result, these products contain very little amounts of precious metals, which is lowering the value of materials in the e-scrap recycling market. Hence, companies in the e-scrap recycling market are collaborating with non-profit trade associations such as ISRI (Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries) to increase awareness about e-waste recycling challenges, and are participating in developmental programs to formulate strategies.
