    E-Waste: New Threat To The Environment Is Addressed By Online Company

    PartStore.com helped keep hundreds of thousands of devices out of landfills in the past year

    New York, NY—On average, 400 million units of consumer electronics a year will be scrapped during the rest of this decade, according to a report by the International Association of Recyclers. Discarded computers, monitors, televisions and other consumer electronics (e-waste) are the fastest growing type of waste according to the EPA , and 40% of heavy metals such as mercury and lead in landfills comes from consumer electronics, or e-waste . One online company is helping people keep those devices out of the dumps.

    “It can be wasteful and dangerous to throw away perfectly good technology”, stated Dan Seligson, E-Commerce Vice President for PartStore.com. “The solution is to fix it. Our PartStore site is using the Internet to help the environment because now people can easily find the parts to make their equipment work longer and better.”

    According to the Computer Take Back Campaign, just 1/70th of a teaspoon of mercury, a common element of many electronic devices, can contaminate 20 acres of a lake.
