Electronic repair is vital as electronic waste is a big problem as its toxic; due to the waste that it produces when thrown away. Throwing electronics instead of repairing them, wastes resources used in its production. Therefore increasing the mine demand, more energy is wasted in the process of manufacturing, and it pollutes the environment. Electronic repair utilizes less resource; hence, making it a better option to the environment.

Electronic disposal is not recommended, this mean to reduce their disposal, and then electronic recycling is advocated for.  This is because:

• It saves on the considerable amount of energy used in the manufacture of electronics.
• There’s recovering of valuable materials; hence, saving on energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• Saving of valuable resources like precious metals, engineered plastics and metals
• Reduction in pollution, saving resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth

Why electronic repair

When it comes to electronic repair, you’re able to avoid recycling of electronics and their disposal also. Electronic repair is essential as even companies face similar problems that the consumer faces. This is because beyond the computers in the offices, manufacturing companies use extensive electronic control and automation equipment.

For manufacturing equipment there’s pressure in extending its lifetime due to training and investment on available equipment. Hence, electronic repair of industrial equipment instead of replacement helps in sustainability. It’s also a smart option for companies, as it helps in promoting manufacturing efficiency, it’s cost effective, and it keeps electronics away from industrial waste stream and contains a sustainable approach.
