UK-based social enterprise, SocialBox.Biz, is urging businesses and individuals to consider donating their old tech items before recycling them. The company specializes in reusing usable Apple MacBooks, laptops, and other tech, and is calling on the public to contact them first before disposing of any tech items.
This call to action comes as the UN predicts a staggering 82 million tonnes of global e-waste by 2030. In response, SocialBox.Biz is working to prevent this waste by partnering with companies to reuse their old tech items before they become e-waste. This not only helps companies meet their Social Impact, CSR, ESG, and Scope 3 emissions goals, but also contributes to the global effort to reduce e-waste.
Instead of sending old tech items to the landfill, SocialBox.Biz upgrades them with open-source innovation. These devices are then given to those in need, such as the elderly who cannot afford computer hardware or software, and individuals experiencing homelessness who are moving into permanent accommodation. This approach not only provides much-needed technology to those in need, but also helps train disadvantaged individuals and prevents unnecessary waste.
To make the donation process easy and secure, SocialBox.Biz offers flexible collection options, data security certification, and documentation for sustainability reporting and annual reports.
The company’s message is clear: don’t recycle, reuse. Businesses and individuals can schedule a collection through SocialBox.Biz’s donation page and be part of the solution to the growing e-waste problem.
SocialBox.Biz is a Community Interest Company based in London and has provided a comprehensive guide for UK companies and universities on how to prioritize the reuse of computers and MacBooks over recycling or disposal. This guide can be found at the link provided below.
For those interested in donating their old MacBooks or other tech items, SocialBox.Biz is currently accepting donations ahead of the holiday season. More information can be found on their website.
