Tech recycling: secure, responsible and simple

With growing environmental concerns like global warming and the surge in e-waste, managing old technology responsibly is more crucial than ever. The Global E-waste Monitor Report 2024 highlights that 62 million tonnes of e-waste were generated in 2022, an 82% increase since 2010, with predictions of this rising to 82 million tonnes by 2030.While the UK recycled about 57% of its e-waste in 2019, the global average was just 17.4%, showing there’s still much progress to be made.

As technology remains central to modern business, it’s essential to dispose of devices responsibly. At dbfb, we partner with Pure Planet Recycling to offer Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling, helping you manage redundant devices in a sustainable and secure way. Recycling just one million mobile phones can recover 772 lbs of silver, 35,000 lbs of copper, 75 lbs of gold, and 33 lbs of palladium—showing the value of responsible recycling.
