Case snippet - 14PSX0310 (E-waste)

Connecticut State agencies have been using an electronic waste disposal contract from 2016 for collecting and safely disposing/recycling off the electronic waste, which includes computing devices and peripherals, laptops and wireless devices.

Certified E-waste handlers can shred and reuse plastic/metal casings as well as extract some of these toxic components for re-use.

Using this electronic waste contract helped the State of Connecticut save an equivalent of over 22 million hours of electricity over the contract life period with over 6 million hours in 2018 and create employment for eight individuals at the E-waste contractor.
