For several years, the growing mountains of e-waste on the surface of the globe have been a worldwide concern to environmentalists. Recently, the total amount of global e-waste has surpassed the size of the Great Wall of China. Yet, as advances in technology are simply steamrolling ahead, there is no end in sight to this major threat to our natural resources. The market of electronic devices is simply growing at such a rapid rate and the turnover on these advanced solutions has become so fast that no proposed solution is delivering the desired results, a slow-down in the pace of pollution. Now the UK is second on the list of e-waste generators in the world.

This is where the refurbished electronics market is gaining a greater role to play. “When we opened our doors more than two decades ago, the primary objective of our team was to provide the market with quality pre-owned solutions to make the most advanced Apple products affordable to a wider market. While we are still doing that, there is now a more concerning matter at hand. This is of course to get more people to rather invest in used products like our wide range of refurbished Apple Mac Book Pros, rather than buying new ones. The sales of new products can always translate to higher demands for production, which in itself is a process with a highly polluting output and of course, more e-waste,” says Nick Lyons, the director of the leading brand in the market of refurbished Apple products, Affordable Mac.

He then also expands on the fact that their team of technical experts ensures that every product on their shelves is in impeccable working order and that their clients can enjoy years of good use from these solutions. The products they offer are of such premium quality and they normally have many more years of good use ahead of them when they end up in the refurbished industry. Thus, by extending the lifespan of these advanced technical solutions, the team reduce the demand for the production of new products and keeps a growing volume of used product from the average household garbage disposal sites.

When electronics end in landfill sites, their outer casings quickly deteriorate due to exposure to the harsh conditions of nature. Once these casings crack or break, it is only a matter of time before the toxic chemicals on the inside leak out. This pollutes the soil and the groundwater that have a ripple effect on all surrounding environments,” Lyons explained the concern behind e-waste landing up in the garbage disposable system.
