Sancon Enters Into e-Waste Business
Wednesday January 10, 7:00 am ET
SHANGHAI, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sancon Resources Recovery Inc (OTCBB:SRRY - News) announced today its wholly owned subsidiary Sancon Recycling has entered into the electronic waste business through a partnership with Australia P.C. Distributors, the largest refurbished personal computer distributor in Australia.
In recent years, obsolete electronic goods or e-waste has become one of the fastest growing wastes. Spurred by rapid adoption of technology advances, millions of computers, monitors, copiers, fax machines, printers, televisions, and other electronic items are disposed as waste each year around the world. According to Australian Broadcasting Corporation, it is expected that 2.1 million new computers will enter the Australian market in 2006. During the same period, 3 million computers will become obsolete, of which 0.5 million will be recycled and most of the remaining are stored away for future disposal or recycling.
Computers and other electronic equipment are made from different materials. Many of these materials are inherently valuable, such as gold and platinum, and many are hazardous. Sancon's e-waste program engages safely regulated disassembling and processing units, which keeps hazardous materials free from our society and recovers valuable secondary raw materials. Sancon projects to recycle 400 tons of e-waste each quarter in conjunction with Australia P.C. Distributors Pty Ltd. Sancon aims to expand similar programs with other electronic, computer and cell phone distributors in Asia.
"The world is consuming more and more electronic products every year. This has caused a sharp increase in e-waste containing toxic chemicals and heavy metals that need to be recycled safely. Every year, millions of old computers and mobile phones are dumped in landfills or burned in smelters," comments Mr. Jack Chen, CEO of Sancon. "Sancon is exploring new ways of addressing this growing challenge for businesses, residents, and local governments as they search for better ways to reuse, recycle, or properly dispose of electronic scrap."
