Partnering for a Greener Future through Electronics Recycling
Every Earth Day is an opportunity to take meaningful action for the planet, and at AIT Electronics Recycling, we’re on a mission to support sustainability with real impact. This year, we partnered with JLL, a global leader in real estate services, to host a dedicated electronics recycling event. Held across Hackensack, NJ, and Morristown, NJ, the event brought together businesses, tenants, and eco-conscious community members to make a difference through responsible e-waste disposal.
Read on to learn how this collaboration played a crucial role in promoting electronics recycling, why events like this matter, and how participating organizations can reap the benefits of sustainable practices.
AIT and JLL Partnership
AIT Electronics Recycling and JLL joined forces to create a powerful initiative focused on reducing electronic waste and educating communities on sustainable practices. This partnership stems from our shared vision to not only combat the growing issue of e-waste but also lead efforts in responsible corporate social responsibility (CSR).
JLL’s goals for this event included:
- Encouraging corporate tenants to recycle their end-of-life electronics securely and responsibly.
- Educating businesses and individuals on sustainable e-waste removal practices to limit environmental impact.
- Enhancing community engagement through participation in Earth Day-focused activities.
Event Highlights
Activities & Community Engagement
The Earth Day electronics recycling event was a resounding success, thanks to the active participation of both corporate clients and sustainability advocates. Here’s what stood out during the two days of action across Hackensack and Morristown, NJ:
- Secure Collection Stations: Participants dropped off numerous items, including laptops, desktop monitors, server racks, and other outdated IT assets, for safe processing.
- Spreading Awareness: Attendees learned about the importance of proper data destruction and how AIT ensures compliance through certified processes.
- Sustainability Impact: The event successfully diverted tenants’ e-waste from landfills, contributing to a measurable reduction in environmental impact and reinforcing the importance of responsible recycling practices.
Why Electronics Recycling Matters
E-waste makes up 70% of all toxic waste in landfills and is one of the fastest-growing global waste streams. Electronic waste contains hazardous materials that harm the environment – if improperly disposed of, it also turns into wasted resources like copper and gold. Recycling electronics reduces pollution, conserves resources, and protects sensitive data.
Why Your Company Should Recycle Its E-Waste
- Environmental Impact: Cuts landfill waste and recovers reusable materials.
- Data Protection: 1 in 4 data breaches are through physical theft! AIT eliminates this threat by destroying all data storage devices thoroughly.
- Corporate Responsibility: Boosts company sustainability efforts and ensures compliance with regulations.-
