62 million tons of e-waste were generated worldwide in 2022. That’s massive. Picture this: 1.55 million trucks filled with discarded computers, smartphones, and TVs. At FORVIA China, our teams decided to take action. They launched an e-waste collection drive across several sites in the country. ?? Throughout March, employees are encouraged to drop off their old computers and electronics. In just one week, over 300 devices have already been collected! ?? Next, everything is sorted and processed by a certified e-waste recycling company. Functional devices get a second life — refurbished into computers for children’s education. ?? If an item can’t be reused, it will be disposed of responsibly, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Small actions, big impact.
