Finally, a Real Solution to Address Climate Change

Donation protected
Introduction:
Did you know that millions of tons of electronic waste (ewaste) are currently lurking in people's closets, basements, and garages, waiting to be disposed of improperly in landfills or informal ewaste recycling?


The world’s generation of electronic waste is rising five times faster than documented e-waste recycling, the UN’s fourth Global E-waste Monitor (GEM) revealed in March 2024. The 62 million tons of e-waste generated in 2022 would fill 1.55 million 40-tonne trucks, roughly enough trucks to form a bumper-to bumper line encircling the equator, according to the report from ITU and UNITAR. And we're on track to rise another 32%, to 82 million tons, in 2030. Currently, we are producing 5 times more ewaste than we are recycling!

It's a ticking time bomb that is rapidly accelerating and will have a significant impact on our planet...but there's hope. Enter EWCRA – the Ewaste Collection & Recycling Association. We have a groundbreaking plan to revolutionize and dramatically simplify the ewaste recycling problem and we're starting by raising money for our first electric collection van. And we need your support to make it happen!

Our Mission:
EWCRA is on a mission to dramatically simplify and encourage ewaste recycling. With our team's expertise in deploying international residential services and EWCRA's innovative approach, we're taking the lead in diverting ewaste from landfills and directing it to EPA R2v3 certified recyclers. We're starting out by educating elementary, middle, and high school students, educating their parents, and collecting their ewaste in coordination with their schools or school districts. Our plan drives environmental responsibility starting with our local communities. Through a sponsored association, we will also be giving local business a clear and impactful way to protect our Environment, reach Carbon Neutrality, and take on the Climate Change problem. Supporting our mission prevents toxic elements from contaminating our soils, air, and environment.

Why Support Us:
By supporting EWCRA, you're not just contributing to a cause – you're becoming part of a movement that's shaping the future of our planet with real tangible solutions that focus down to the individuals and local communities and that can zoom out to our international community. Our goal is to purchase our first electric delivery van, specially retrofitted to teach about ewaste, incentivize businesses to care about our environment, and most importantly, to transport ewaste safely and efficiently to R2-V3 recyclers. With your help, we can take a significant step towards achieving our mission and reducing our carbon footprint.


Your Impact:
Your donation will directly fund the purchase of our first electric delivery van, as well as the necessary retrofitting and operations to equip it with sponsor logos and shelving for ewaste storage, and equipment for educating at events. Our program will immediately start collecting e-waste through our "bring your ewaste to school" programs where we teach kids and parents about the importance of sustainability while we directly address the growing ewaste problem.
Van = $87,000
Retrofit = $10,000
First Event = 3,000
With this van, we will trigger a program that will change the world. Once started, we will be able to raise money for the next van and launch in the next market. We'll be able to expand our reach, collect more ewaste, and make a greater impact on our communities and our environment. Together, we can make a difference and pave the way for a cleaner future.
