SECR
We are
Committed to Information Technology and associated electronics disposition, reuse and recycling as per internationally accepted standards, regulations, and procedures to not only protect our precious environment from e-waste but also to help provide less fortunate world population an opportunity to obtain IT equipment which are within their grasp.
“It’s not a waste until it’s wasted“
Our precious planet is home to over 7.7 billion human lives that is now breathing in an ever-deteriorating environment due to technological advancements that on one hand made our lives convenient but on the other produces 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste worldwide every year. Americans contribute their fair share of e-waste as well. At the given rate by 2030, this e-waste is expected to balloon up to an alarming level, 74.7 million metric tons, which is surely going to toxic our environment and expose all living beings to several hazardous toxic metals.
But what if this enormous e-waste could be recycled responsibly to reshape the future and, in the process, assist less fortunate and deprived people in the underdeveloped nations with it? Echoing the same philosophy, SECR saw an opportunity and potential to recycle the unwanted electronics of today to make it reusable and in the process help many people in many underdeveloped countries who would otherwise not be able to afford them.
“It’s not a waste until it’s wasted.“It’s this concept to restore and reuse resources from end-of-life computers, laptops, electronics, and related office technology products in an eco-friendly manner, that today SECR is fully committed to serve business, education, Government, and other community organizations to take their e-waste out of their hands in a secure and safe manner and make them reusable.
