Vodacom, Circular Energy partner to reduce e-waste in South Africa

Telecommunications company Vodacom South Africa and not-for-profit producer responsibility (EPR) organisation Circular Energy have partnered to divert growing volumes of electronic waste (e-waste) from landfills into recovery and recycling programmes. E-waste has become one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world, as demand for technologies rise, and this discarded waste is posing serious risks of pollution, health hazards and degradation to the environment.
