What will OES do to encourage the reuse of electronics that may still have another “life”?
Research has shown that the most viable source for reuse of electronics is from the industrial, commercial and institutional sector, which already has a number of effective business models that address the issue of getting reusable electronics products to the appropriate markets, including support for charitable organizations. It is estimated that an average of approximately 10% of combined residential, industrial, commercial and institutional unwanted electronics that are available for collection in Ontario have reuse potential. A strong public outreach and communication program will direct Ontario residents to organizations and locations to which they can donate their used, working electronics.
