The recycling industry faces numerous hurdles – especially when it comes to the cost and complexity of e-waste collection.

But rather than seeing these as roadblocks, Desco Electronic Recyclers views it as a springboard for innovation.

Here’s how the company is overcoming these challenges with practical, forward-thinking solutions.

Giulio Airaga, managing director of Desco, views these challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation.

“Recognising the financial burden that collection can impose on customers, leading some to opt for improper disposal methods, we’ve initiated several projects to mitigate these issues.”

In collaboration with partners like the E-waste Recycling Authority (ERA) and Makro, Desco introduced ‘eWaste Bins’ at accessible retail locations. This initiative simplifies the disposal process for consumers, encouraging responsible recycling practices.

“We’ve established branches across various regions, including Kempton Park, Belville, and Briardene, to facilitate easier access for informal collectors. By purchasing materials directly from these collectors, we incentivise the collection of e-waste and integrate informal recyclers into the formal recycling ecosystem,” he explains.

Understanding the vital role of waste pickers, Desco has developed programs to support and collaborate with them.

These individuals are crucial to the recycling ecosystem, and by providing fair compensation and resources, the recycler enhances their effectiveness and promote sustainable practices.

Beyond addressing collection challenges, Desco has made significant advancements in recycling technologies and processes:

  • Comprehensive Recycling Services: The company specialises in dismantling electronic products into various commodities, focusing on plastic granulation, cable granulation, and circuit board grinding. This approach ensures that valuable materials are recovered and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle.
  • Data Safety Initiatives: Recognising the importance of data security, Desco has implemented protocols to ensure that all electronic waste is processed with the utmost attention to data destruction, safeguarding our clients’ information.

“Looking ahead, we see immense potential in the e-waste recycling sector. With Africa’s rapidly growing population and workforce, the volume of electronic waste is increasing. This presents an opportunity not just for waste management, but for job creation and environmental stewardship,” Airaga concludes.

By fostering a culture of responsible recycling and investing in the necessary infrastructure, we can turn the e-waste challenge into a sustainable industry that benefits both the economy and the environment.

In conclusion, challenges in e-waste collection and recycling are undeniable, but they are not insurmountable.

Desco chooses to view these challenges as catalysts for innovation, driving the company to develop solutions that benefit its customers and the communities it serves.
