Electronics
Recycling Canada (ERC) is a Vancouver
based company specializing in electronic waste (e-Waste)
Collection, e-Waste management, e-Waste demanufacturing,
and resource recovery. Studies have indicated that
the disposal of e-Waste is becoming a serious global
issue. Electronics that have been discarded in landfills
are releasing toxins and polluting the environment.
The existing incineration recycling processes for
e-Waste are releasing Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions
and other dangerous air pollutants such as dioxins,
heavy metals and hazardous acids. ERC’s unique
e-Waste management programs focus on environmentally-friendly
methods of disposing of e-Waste with processes that
require NO burning, NO
chemical leaching and NO landfills.
This will be accomplished using the company’s
proprietary Closed
Loop System of e-Waste management and
executed through a coordinated network of ERC centres.
The Network will provide these services to all levels
of governments, multinational corporations, local
communities, electronic manufacturers and all other
e-Waste generators to eliminate e-Waste from entering
landfills and incinerators. ERC is unique in this
industry and provides a complete service not offered
by any other recycling company.
Over time, large portions of resources that have been
mined or produced by industry have been used in the
manufacturing of electronic products (e-Products).
These resources must be recovered to ensure the sustainability
of the world’s ever-shrinking primary resource
supply. The fundamental goal of ERC is to enhance
recovery, recycling and the environmentally friendly
disposition of e-Waste and other electronic components
with minimal waste, minimal harmful emissions and
maximum re-usable raw materials retrieval. ERC recognizes
that e-Waste has become a significant source of raw
materials.
ERC provides a complete Closed
Loop System, both for material flow and
material recycling, that allows monitoring from entry
to exit. No other recycler takes direct control over
the entire recycling process to assure complete processing.
ERC is the only recycler that can provide complete
processing at an efficiency surpassing any other provider
at a cost less than all conventional processes. All
of this can be done by ERC without producing harmful
emissions or landfill waste. The Company’s unique
processing model is simple and cost-effective.
