E-Waste

E-waste is any unwanted, inefficient electronic item that is close to or has surpassed the end of its “normal” lifecycle. Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are everyday electronic products. The ongoing challenge of safe disposal of used and unwanted electronics is nothing new and dates back to the 1970s in the least. However, much has changed since then. Especially the amount of electronic waste, which is increasing with an annual growth of 3000 metric tons since 2022

MMT global recycling has taken the responsibility of providing a comprehensive e-waste management service to meet the challenge, ranging from the segregation and maintenance of electrical components to data loss services that prevent any data theft even after disposal. In today’s time, e-waste has become one of the fastest-growing wastes, leading to a global issue. Reverse Logistics is a potential way for efficient e-waste management.

Over the last two decades, it has received significant attention from industries, governments, experts, and researchers. If we manage e-waste responsibly, it offers splendid benefits for urban mining via the recovery of precious metals that will ease the strain on the natural mines and prevent occupational hazards. Therefore, handling e-waste is a challenge, but reverse logistics pose a viable opportunity for legally collected and recycled e-waste.

The company focuses on community-based waste disposal and environmental safety as well as e-waste disposal. All waste sent to the company is 100 percent recycled in basic ruminants without being disposed of elsewhere. Also, MMT Global Recycling has recycling facilities where the electronic endpoint is operated in an environmentally friendly manner. In addition, the organization has developed systems and technologies for the removal and disposal of waste materials or equipment

Plastic Waste

We know that a lot of plastic is consumed worldwide and with this comes negatives impacts on the environment, but here are a few facts to put things into perspective.

300 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced annually, that's almost the weight of the entire human population!

Only around 9% of plastic made has ever been recycled, while around 79% has been discarded in landfills or the natural environment, affecting our precious wildlife, land and oceans.

It can take over 450 years for plastic to degrade, and most of it still exists is some form.

An unimaginable 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the world's oceans every year, and if current trends continue, our oceans could contain more plastic than fish by 2050.
Leading in plastic waste recycling, MMT Global Recycling all types of recyclable plastic waste. The company is built on a remarkable legacy of years, led by exemplary leaders who have shown enduring interest and commitment to creating and maintaining a clean and safe environment for our future generations as well as for Mother Earth.

Battery Waste

BATTERY RECYCLING IS IMPORTANT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH 4 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BATTERY DISPOSAL AND THE ENVIRONMENT


1.) Improperly disposed batteries contribute to water and air pollution:

When depleted batteries are tossed into the trash, they end up in landfills where they decay and leak. As batteries corrode, their chemicals soak into soil and contaminate groundwater and surface water. Our ecosystems, which contain thousands of aquatic plants and animals, are compromised when filled with battery chemicals. This means that when we drink from tap water faucets, we could be ingesting dangerous metals. Did you also know that improperly disposed lithium batteries can be very unstable? Lithium batteries can cause landfill fires that can smolder for many years. As a result, the toxic chemicals released into the air negatively affect our breathing and contribute to global warming. The vaporized form of improperly exposed batteries also gets trapped in the atmosphere and pollutes lakes and streams in the form of rain.


2) Improperly disposed batteries negatively affect human health.

Exposing the environment to lead and strong corrosive acids found in batteries can cause burns and dangers to our eyes and skin.According to the Agency for Toxic Substance & Disease Registry, toxic metals like nickel and cadmium found in batteries are known human carcinogens. Carcinogens are any substance, radiation, or radionuclide that acts as an agent that causes cancer. When these agents interact with our air and water, we risk developing cancerous disabilities. Another toxic metal that can be found in batteries is lead, which has been linked to severe medical issues like developmental & neurological damage and congenital disabilities. I 1996, the government introduced legislation that banned Mercury from use in batteries because of its highly toxic nature, especially in vapor form. Due to this new law, people can now use smaller batteries, such as single-use alkaline batteries, without fear of Mercury poisoning.


3) Recycling batteries is easy

Programs like MMT Global Recycle willingly take your batteries and recycle them on your behalf as an act of public service. Disposing of car batteries, which are typically composed of lead acid materials, can be as simple as taking it down to an automotive store and dropping it off. Even cell phone carriers and manufacturers allow you to mail your phone away to be properly recycled. Did you know that before the 1996 ban on mercury use in single-use alkaline batteries, proper recycling procedures were mandatory?


4) Rechargeable batteries consume less natural resources

Did you know that rechargeable batteries consume less nonrenewable natural resources overall than disposable batteries? One huge positive of using rechargeable batteries is that due to their ability to recharge, fewer batteries are needed to provide the same amount of energy. This translates to fewer resources being consumed during the manufacturing process. Another benefit of using rechargeable batteries over disposable batteries is the cost savings. Rechargeable batteries save the consumer money due to its reusability.

Dismantling


MMT Global Recycling Segregation

At our factory premises, We segregate the e-waste material after the dust extraction process on the basis of several mentioned factors.

Size of the eqipment and available components

Condition of the material

Hazardous and non-hazardous components present in the material

Reusability of the material

MMT Global Recycling Dismantling

Our specializes in e-waste dismantling process. We process all kinds of electronic equipment from computers, laptops, LCD or LED screens, Televisions, Printers, appliances and lots more. Our process ensures that minimal amount of hazardous materials are emitted to the environment making it eco-friendly and safe

  • Manual dismantling of components enables separating the usable from the unusable.
  • Recyclable fractions with viable components are collected
  • Hazardous components and high value components like PCBs are removed and remaining components are sent for mechanical separation.
  • Appliances are dismantled up to a point where further manual separation is not possible and sent for further processing
  • Further separation into pure materials is not possible without mechanical shredding.

For dismantling, we have designed a table in-house, on top of which a dust protector and extractor are installed. Filtered through a HEPA filter, the collected dust will be automatically stored in an attached container after which it will be disposed off through the TSDF. CRT, CPU, Hard disk, SMPS, Printers, Fax machines, AC, Washing machines and Lab equipment’s are dismantled separately.

One of the crucial steps in the e-Waste management process is dismantling as it involves segregating these components into recyclable pieces that can be reused.. Opening each appliance, separating the housing from the rest, segregating the parts and removing the hazardous components and carefully categorizing other components into marketable fractions is a process that requires careful consideration. Our e-waste disposal process ensures that reusable components get the right treatment and are sent for further processing and recycling.
