Service with Significant Environmental Footprint
Argentina
Every year, 42 million tons of electronic waste is generated globally. In Argentina, each person generates 7 kilos of e-waste per year, on average. It is among the countries with the fastest-growing urban waste zones, as a result of the rapidly expanding market of electronic products and the accelerating speed at which they become obsolete Reciclarg was created in 2010 in order to recycle electronic waste. It is a certified “blue economy” company, established with the aim of altering the way in which production processes are usually run and tackling resulting environmental problems, shifting from the use of rare and high-energy-cost resources to solutions based on simpler and cleaner technologies. The company is inspired by circular economy principles, namely it leans towards zero waste and zero pollution by optimizing the whole production system in an integrated manner.
