Why Recycle?
Recycling your old tech and electronics really matters (and so do you!)
Did you know e-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world?
And sadly only a tiny fraction of it gets properly recycled. But we’re setting out
to help change that. At TechBack, we believe every device has the power to do good:
for the planet, for the community, and for future generations.
The Good…
E-Waste holds valuable materials that industries need to make new electronics. When we safety recover and reuse them, we reduce the need for destructive new mining!
The Bad
& The Ugly.
But it also contains hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium that can leach into our soil, water and food supply if not handled properly.
That’s why we’re so determined to offer free & easy e-recycling to as many people as possible.
More than 50 million tons of e-waste are generated worldwide every year… and less than 20% is formally recycled.
That’s equivalent to throwing away 800 laptops every second (but we can help!)
Together we can change the stats
Local impact near...
Recycling locally with TechBack keeps e-waste out of landfills, reduces carbon emissions, and creates second-life opportunities for devices that can be refurbished or donated.
...and far!
With our TechBack GiveBack program, every recycled device plants a tree — turning your old tech into something with lasting impact on the environment.
Because every item you recycle counts
- Protects natural resources
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
- Prevents toxic pollution
- Supports the circular economy
