Reducing electronic waste

Our technology is often re-used and re-deployed throughout our portfolio to reduce the environmental impact of the mining industry and improper recycling, increase access to quality reusable and refurbished equipment, and reduce energy use. When we recycle equipment, we work with organizations to do so responsibly.
