Despite February being a shorter month, we have recovered 192 tonnes of materials from e-waste and refurbished and repurposed 2,351 items.
Through our Asset Management division we donate $1 for each laptop recovered. For the month of February we donated $239 to ISP Uganda for the laptops we recovered in January to support their Keep a Kid in School program, supporting disadvantaged youth in Uganda.
