EcoSquid is now offering a new website that can help consumers locate the best options for recycling or selling their used electronics.
The solution, which comes in the wake of many regulators, manufacturers and environmentalists beginning to stress the need for better electronic waste management, will help householders recycle old electronics in a more sustainable manner. The EcoSquid website is part of a larger ‘eCycling’ website ring sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The company has said that at present just 20 per cent of all e-waste is recycled each year. A majority of the e-waste that goes unrecycled is sitting in drawers and garages in UK households across the country.
EcoSquid has been launched to fill a gap in the market, where UK householders can locate the best ways to recycle their unwanted electronics. According to studies a majority of householders do not recycle their old electronics because they are unsure how. Now, rather than researching multiple methods independently, consumers can use EcoSquid’s single platform to find the best possible option for recycling their item.
EcoSquid’s search engine allows consumers to quickly locate the item they are looking to get rid of and identify its value. From there the consumer can choose to sell or recycle, and redeem cash or vouchers for the transaction. If the item has no redeemable value or the customer simply wants to donate it, EcoSquid identifies the best possible organisation through which to recycle the item.
