International E-Waste Day

Every year on 14 October we acknowledge the growing mountain of electronic waste: devices with plugs or batteries that too often end up in the regular bin. With BINBIN’s approach you can give your old laptop, smartphone or coffee-machine a second life — preventing loss of gold, silver and copper, and keeping hazardous materials out of our environment.
