Can we fix our way out of the growing e-waste problem?
Recycling – plastic bottles and cardboard boxes spring to mind … but what about e-waste?
Here at Cloud Construct we take this very seriously and are conscious about limiting and preventing our IT waste. Where possible, we repair or repurpose our own IT equipment at Cloud Construct and we encourage other companies to adhere to similar corporate environmental responsibility as well.
Cloud Construct encourages companies to manage their IT waste and actively supports anyone helping to contribute to a decline in waste generation. We provide full hosting, web development and web maintenance services for a local company, XPO IT Services.
E-waste will inevitably continue to rise as we become more reliant on more modern electronics. With 50 million tonnes of it generated each year, set to more than double by 2050, e-waste has secured its place as the fastest growing waste stream in the world; (according to the author of a UN report)
XPO IT Services provides companies with free recycling of IT equipment and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). Every business within the UK has an obligation to dispose of electronic waste in a responsible manner, not just socially, but legally. Non-compliance with the WEEE directive can be costly particularly for smaller businesses with the possibility of being faced with an unlimited fine.
It’s a delight to be able to support a local business providing these vital services to small, medium and large companies alike; keeping them compliant and taking the stress away from recycling electronics. XPO IT Services’ processes are designed to be as sustainable as possible, ensuring that any hardware you possess is always repurposed for use elsewhere.
Cloud Construct has provided fantastic support and digital services for our business as we look to promote and provide our recycling services to a broader range of clients. We put huge focus on providing a premium service and are well versed with the local area and companies. With Cloud Construct being a local company themselves it’s made for a constructive relationship as we share the value and initiative to reduce IT waste on a local and national scale.
