E-WASTE and E-STEWARDSHIP IN AUSTRALIA
When electronic or electrical products (e-products) reach their end-of-life, they can become e-waste. However, all these products contain valuable materials that can be recycled if the right systems exist. In Australia, the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) provides this system. The NTCRS accepts televisions, computers, printers, monitors and IT peripherals. These are collected from designated drop-off points and transported to e-waste recyclers, where they are safely and responsibly recycled to keep valuable materials in our economy.
The NTCRS is a co-regulated scheme meaning there is a combination of industry action underpinned by government regulation to achieve outcomes specified in rules, such as setting recycling outcomes and service levels that must be achieved. Australia and New Zealand Recycling Platform (ANZRP) is a government approved co-regulatory arrangement that operates under the NTCRS, and one which has been established by a group of the world’s leading technology companies to fulfill these outcomes.

Together, we are committed to doing things in the most environmentally-responsible way possible.
I believe they were quite fair with their prices and because they are so easy to deal with and take care of everything, I find them valuable.
On every front that I have dealt with them they have always followed up on things, they have been responsive, professional and very helpful to deal with. They have been very good on a reporting and logistics level too. We had a direct point of contact and when I had something critical or a complex question I could easily get a hold of her and that really paid off. I really can’t fault them as they have been really good to work with; they have been reliable, trustworthy and efficient.
They’re easy to work with, responsive, and always solution focused. Honestly, they make things simple and get things done. They also represent us with authority on recycling matters with the government, even managing the invoicing side, which saves us time and hassle. It’s one of those things I don’t want to worry about – and thankfully, I don’t have to. They handle it all seamlessly.
