Sustainability

E-waste

• The production, use and disposal of electronic equipment generates a significant amount of carbon, a major contributor to climate change.
• Nearly 5% of global emissions come from the production of electronic devices.
• E-waste makes up 70% of our overall global toxic waste yet only 18% of e-waste is recycled.
• The UK is the 2nd highest contributor of e-waste in the world.
• Over the last 15 years, the amount of e-waste in the UK has doubled.
• By ensuring equipment is re-used, reduced and responsibly recycled, we encourage carbon avoidance and generate carbon savings.
• ICT Reverse produces sustainability certificates for all customers outlining their carbon savings.
• The figures are calculated from UK Government Conversion Factors for greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting.
• These factors are suitable for use by UK-based organisations of all sizes and international organisations reporting on UK operations
• Therefore, the scope of the factors is defined such that it is relevant to emissions reporting.

ICT Reverse is proud to support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The UN’s 17 Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs) set forth an urgent call to action by all countries – developed and developing – to unite in a global partnership. These goals recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our natural resources and biodiversity.
