Why should we recycle electronics?

The whole world is now taking steps towards plastic recycling, so much that this has now become a buzzword. However, we are still quite resistant when it comes to recycling electronics items. We can find thousands of cars and household items being stashed, but can’t find that many electronic products in Dubai scrap yards. It is noteworthy that there are several metal recycling companies in Dubai, such as Lucky group, which can buy valuable metals derived from the process of electronics recycling.

We waste a lot of energy and resources to make a new electronic product. So, recycling of electronic items can save energy as well as valuable resources. It will also significantly reduce the carbon footprint that is associated with the manufacturing process of electronic items. Moreover, recycling these products will also effectively prevent electronic wastes to go into landfills.

There are some approved recycling companies in Dubai that can effectively extract the metals from electronic items. You can also obtain commercial value by selling these valuable metals to scrap metals trading companies. Besides the financial aspect of recycling, you can also make your significant contribution to a better tomorrow by taking part in electronic recycling.

Need to build a cleaner recycling empire? — Go electric!

Electricity is the new green! Well…No not exactly, electricity has been providing mankind with enough reasons not to pollute since many decades. Imagine moving back to an age of steam and coal; back to an industrial age where black smog covered the air above cities. Now combine that with today’s growing population and results can be pretty disastrous. People would simply be dying with just the air pollution rather than diseases and aging.


Electricity has provided companies today with the greener and cleaner power to do what they do best — guide the world into the next revolution and age. However even though norms are getting tighter and recycling companies do their best to curb pollution; environmental protection measures by recycling metals and others in Dubai, is always never enough.

The new norms and restrictions make it more challenging yet; allow recycling companies in Dubai to come up with newer and more efficient technologies that help reduce emissions even further. Scrap metal recyclers in Dubai barely pollute the environment. They do way with more good than any other industry in Dubai can. But can it be better?

Yes! And that answer lies in using electricity. One way in which recycling companies can go greener is by utilizing greener vehicles for everything. From transport within the massive facilities to transporting goods via land from the scrap yards in Dubaito the metal recycling facilities. Electric vehicles have become a lot more efficient in the past decade; and many manufacturers have begun providing solutions that easily cross out the conventional gas guzzlers which help transport loads from factories to their destinations. They would obviously not match the load capacities of the bigger trailers, but manufacturers who build them are getting there. With payload capacities that begin from 2800kgs to 7400kgs; and with up to 190 kms on a single charge with no fuel expenses, makes for a great way to save the environment no matter what business you’re into.

Landfill Mining: Is it worth the trouble?

Landfill mining started-off back in 1953 in Israel and the rest of the world has only begun to catch up with it recently. The advantages and disadvantages of landfill mining are something that most corporations would not readily answer. The reason why it has caught up only recently was simply because there were other more important events that took place after 1953 after which most countries forgot about the whole concept. Landfill mining is profitable. It is known fact that more aluminium can be extracted from a landfill as compared to extracting aluminium from ores from a similar area of mined land.



Landfill mining has its advantages; it allows better aeration of the soil in the area, while the mining company recovers valuable recyclable materials which allows for less material to dump back in (creating that extra space). Most people see this as a way of protecting the environment by cleaning up the soil doing the world a favour. The reason why landfill mining has taken off is simply because it is more profitable. It is more profitable to extract a tonne of aluminium via landfill mining, than to extract ores from the earth’s crust, process it and then using power hungry (expensive) plasma arc reactors to create virgin aluminium.

Some people would say “why don’t we simply sort things out instead of dumping them in and then sorting everything out?” well that is because we as human beings lack the initiative to do the same. If all of us here in Dubai segregated our trash there would be no need to open up landfills as only organic waste would land up in there. Governments spend enormous amounts of funding on garbage recycling facilities only because the people in Dubai would simply refuse to segregate different types of recyclable items.

Metal recyclers in Dubai too suffer because of consumer misbehaviour when it comes to garbage segregation. Aluminium cans, plastics and all sorts of packaging are often dumped together only to end up at garbage recycling plant where fortunately for us, they do find their way back to the recycling companies in Dubai.


So yes landfill mining is good for us but the question that we should be asking is—why are we adding to the confusion to begin with?
