Regulatory and environmental constraints restrict the flow of electronic wastes to disposal. For example, Massachusetts has banned disposal of computer monitors, and many other states are tightening controls on disposal of mercury and lead (which are found in most electronic equipment). Because of their leaded glass content, most private disposal facilities have restricted or banned disposal of computer monitors. Additionally, there is good reason to be sensitive to public relations issues attached to surplus electronic. On the one hand, the public has become aware that used electronics are a large contributor to the volume and toxicity of trash in the United States, and represent a waste of technology. Companies associated with this waste stream can be perceived as wasteful and environmentally careless. On the other hand, public relations benefits can be gained by donating surplus electronics to needy users, or by documenting their recycling. How Wuf Helps You Wuf Technologies works with firms that generate surplus electronics to achieve two primary objectives.
Wuf help you achieve those objectives as follows. Wuf knows that every firm has to satisfy multiple and often conflicting needs in managing surplus electronics. With experience from dozens of corporate and institutional generators, we can help tease out and prioritize the goals that are most important:
Identifying Disposition Outlets Wuf doesn’t represent one recycling and disposition option, because one option won’t fit the diversity of needs and goals that exist among different corporations. Instead, Wuf represents many options, which it matches against the priorities of individual clients. Wuf has evaluated the services offered by dozens of recyclers and donation outlets up and down the East Coast. We evaluate services including recycling practices, end markets for equipment, components, and commodities, recycling costs and revenue sharing options, financial stability, regulatory and environmental, health, and safety compliance. Then we match these against the needs and priorities of individual generators to provide the best fit between generator and recycler — sometimes splitting a generator’s surplus to line up the best disposition option for two or more separate flows of equipment. In Summary Inside and out, Wuf knows the business of recycling electronics. We have the knowledge to help identify your most critical recycling goals, the connections to match these up against the best recycling options available in the Northeast, and the logistics skills to help drive out cost and maximize flexibility each step of the way. Most important, we work for you, the generator. Unlike other electronics recyclers, we don’t represent a single recycling option that we’re trying to promote. We represent many, and our job is to find the market and logistics choices that optimize achievement of your surplus management goals. |
