Electrical and electronic waste poses a huge problem worldwide. It is estimated that tens of millions of tonnes of waste are thrown away each year. And this amount is set to double in the next ten years. The major problem with electronic waste is that certain components represent a huge problem for mankind and the environment.
The extent to which pollutants pose a threat depends largely on the recycling process. Protecting mankind, the soil, water and air calls for professional dismantling of used electrical and electronic equipment, separating out the components that contain pollutants and disposing of them responsibly.
SWICO Recycling ensures that electrical and electronic waste in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein is disposed of in line with the latest technological developments. And that this disposal happens in Switzerland. Our country's disposal process is recognised worldwide as being exemplary.
