E-waste has become a major problem in different world nations due to the limited space available for disposing of these devices. Each year only 10 percent of e-waste is actually recycled securely worldwide, according to statistics from one of the world's largest recyclers, Total Reclaim, and other recycling companies.

E-waste recycling is extremely important for any business that wishes to decommission its offices. Unfortunately, there is a lack of knowledge on the specific components that can be recycled and the difficulty in finding accepted recycling centers.
