Listen, Singapore produces more than 60,000 tonnes of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) each year, and the rate of e-waste production is demanded to increase in tandem with economic growth and the currency of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) among users and businesses. E-waste includes relevant sources that can be obtained through proper treatment and handling processes. It also includes small quantities of dangerous substances that may harm the environment and our health, if badly disposed of.
We realize there is a must to encourage recycling of all helpful and valuable material from e-waste to maintain the ever consuming natural resources. Recycling end-of-life rejected products is vital if we are to save resources and minimize landfill. Corpseed Ites Pvt. Ltd understands its responsibility and in this regard, we have tied-up with one of the leading and authorized e-waste recycler namely 3R Recycler for facilitating our customers to enable them to dispose of e-waste products after its end-of-life.
Given the above, the Corpseed is offering a regulated e-waste management system that will guarantee the usual collection and treatment of e-waste and the removal of relevant sources from e-waste. The managed e-waste management method will also safeguard the atmosphere and our health.
The regulated e-waste management method will be based on the EPR E-Waste (Extended Producer Responsibility) procedure, where generators bear the duty for the collection and handling of their products when they reach end-of-life. This EPR policy will be achieved through the Resource Sustainability Act (RSA), offered by our organization.
