1. Introduction
Electronic and IT equipment waste is the swiftest growing waste problem in the world. It can have damaging consequences on the environment and on human health if it is not handled in the proper way. Within this year we can see the rapid development in technology causing the replacement rate is higher and the lifespan of the electronic products is getting shorter day by day. Electronic waste is relatively harmless comparing to other types of waste, but the number of large household appliances and other electronic gadgets make up the volume of waste and can be quite significant, since electronics can contain expensive and valuable resources such as gold, platinum, and other high-value metals. The information and communications equipment market is one of the most significant markets in the west and is growing at a quicker rate than ever. And the change in equipment is higher than ever, manufacturers are developing new products every 6 months and it is estimated that there are millions of tonnes of ICT in the world and the replacement rate of IT equipment in organizations is 3-5 years. This results in a lot of equipment being discarded as organizations do not understand the best way to dispose of it. Setting up further education of the importance of recycling or choosing to donate the old equipment are some small ways to change this trend.
2. The Growing Need for Proper IT Equipment Recycling
For instance, instructions for how to refurbish a computer will differ greatly from instructions for how to recycle or shred a hard drive. In the modern business landscape, companies frequently update and replace their equipment to stay competitive and maintain efficiency. However, the disposal of this outdated equipment presents a significant challenge in terms of waste management, particularly with the rise of electronic waste (e-waste). E-waste, consisting of discarded electronic devices like computers, smartphones, and appliances, poses environmental and health hazards if not properly managed.

3. Sustainable Asset Management Solutions: Your Preferred ITAD Partner
IT Asset Disposition is a potent missing link in green procurement, with 76 percent of large enterprises having no formal end-of-life strategy and only 31 percent of obsolete IT equipment being accounted for by the final users. When companies reach the end of a lease or need to dispose of equipment that is no longer in working condition, they often leave it to their IT department to deal with by tacking it on to an existing employee’s list of tasks. It is not uncommon for this equipment to then be left in a storage area for an undefined period of time because there is no clear directive on where it should go. The equipment eventually makes its way to a dumpster or is sold off without regard for the downstream effects these practices may cause. There is often more focus on data security at end-of-life, but it is more so aimed at the methods of data destruction and not what happens to the physical hard drives post-destruction. This is a key motivator in the search for an ITAD partner, but the goal is to couple both data security and green disposition.

5. Finding E-Waste Disposal Companies in Singapore
Some of the toxic materials in electronic goods are lead, mercury, cadmium, and a brominated flame retardant known as PBDE. Lead is contained in solder and CRT monitor glass. It damages the nervous system, kidneys, and it causes brain development issues. Aluminum hard drive platters, power cables, and the shells of dot-matrix printer ribbon cartridges all contain cadmium. This can do major harm to the liver and kidneys. PBDEs in flame retardants used on printed circuit boards have been related to damage to the liver, thyroid, and reproductive hormone systems. It has also been proven to cause neurological damage in animals. SAMS specializes in equipment recycling and disposal services tailored specifically for electronic waste (e-waste).
