ELECTRONIC WASTE (E-WASTE) RECYCLING IN NAMIBIA

EcoRobotics teamed up with NamiGreen to recycle electronic waste (E-waste) - like computers, phones, servers, cables, and all other electronics.

The EcoRobotics team is as passionate about the environment and our country as we are about electronics. For this reason we teamed up with NamiGreen! 

Our Windhoek office now acts as a drop off point for the public and companies by hosting a large E-waste container that can handle larger E-waste goods and gadgets like vacuum cleaners and computers.

Address: Maxwell Park, Unit 1, Maxwell Street, Windhoek

WHY WE CHOSE NAMIGREEN:

NamiGreen is a recycling company in Namibia that recycles electronic waste. They recycle and dispose of electronic waste for a variety of organisations, businesses, and private individuals. NamiGreen is a collaboration of PEHANSEN and Transworld Cargo.

They follow the ISO 14000 series environmental management systems, and always ensure the preservation of the health and safety of their employees. NamiGreen opposes public E-waste recycling because waste contains hazardous materials that are harmful to humans, animals, and the environment.

NamiGreen's recent efforts in its quest to become even more environmentally friendly include analyzing the carbon dioxide (CO2) impact of all E-waste collected and recycled. These measurements are then delivered to their clients in the form of a "certificate of disposal," which includes the amount of CO2-savings generated by that recycling endeavor.

"Our clients have responded well with the new CO2 measurements, because it puts a concrete measure on their actual recycling effort. Now clients can say 'we have saved the planet for e.g., 1 ton of CO2' simply by recycling old and broken electronics", says Mr. Per Hansen, CEO of NamiGreen. 

NamiGreen collaborates with the government, municipalities, parastatals, and local businesses to manage the growing amount of electronic waste efficiently and safely. Their mission is to keep Namibia and Africa’s environment green and healthy.

NamiGreen’s business model entails providing their services to businesses, landfills, and households to ensure that it is no longer a problem in Namibia.

NamiGreen's mission can be summarized as follows:

  • Recycling e-waste to safeguard the environment and future generations.
  • Responsible and secure e-waste disposal throughout Namibia.
  • Assisting in the creation of jobs in the e-waste recycling business.
  • Working efficiently and following through on our commitments.

NamiGreen handles E-waste professionally therefore they collect and recycle E-waste in a safe and environmentally responsible manner throughout Namibia. Not only does recycling ensure a green Namibia, but it also creates employment for our locals.

What happens to the E-waste once collected by NamiGreen? All electronics are completely dismantled and sorted into various fractions (metals, printed circuit boards, plastics etc.) The fractions then go to different recycling plants in Europe, that eventually turns these fractions into new products.
