E-waste is the fastest-growing solid waste stream worldwide. That’s not a talking point. Sustainability is what drives everything we do at Ross Recycling.
The Problem
Electronic equipment contains valuable metals like copper, gold, and aluminum. It also contains hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium. When electronics end up in landfills, those hazardous materials leach into soil and groundwater. The valuable metals are lost permanently.
What We Do About Sustainability
Every device Ross Recycling processes is a device kept out of a landfill. We recover precious metals, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and other commodities from end-of-life electronics. Simultaneously, we divert toxins that would otherwise harm the environment and human health.
How We Do It
Reuse First: Equipment that still has useful life gets remarketed. Extending the life of electronics is the most impactful form of recycling.
Recover Everything: When equipment reaches end of life, we extract every recoverable material. Metals go back into the supply chain. Plastics and glass are processed for reuse.
Handle Hazards Properly: Our certified processes ensure that hazardous substances are identified, contained, and disposed of in compliance with all applicable regulations.
Our Sustainability Standards
A comprehensive, integrated management system certified to the industry’s most stringent standards drives our environmental, health, safety, and data security performance. Our R2v3 certification and our downstream partners’ compliance record demonstrate our commitment to doing this right.
