Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of everything scrapdrop does - that's why we're your ideal Partners For a Sustainable Future.

Sustainability is a complex concept that encompasses environmental, social and financial aspects into any given process. To fully appreciate and address the challenges that come with e-waste management for a sustainable future, we must consider all of these factors and the interplay among them. scrapdrop looks at sustainability holistically from all sides. Where most companies in our industry focus on one or the other, scrapdrop is equally strong in both reuse and recycling services, a reflection of our commitment to providing robust solutions that thoroughly address the far-reaching impact of e-waste on our planet.

It is well documented that reuse, refurbishment and recycling of electronics have a positive impact on greenhouse gas emissions. However, we believe existing GHG Credit programs don't adequately address the concept of additionality and thus are not a meaningful way to reduce carbon emissions.

Why does additionality matter to you?

Additionality is the concept that an activity has a measurably positive impact that is greater than the impact you would have had you done something else. Reusing a laptop isn't in and of itself an activity that generates credit if there is a high likelihood that the laptop would have been reused anyway. As carbon markets develop globally, there is growing consensus around what is and isn't a "credit", especially when considered in the context of offsetting carbon outputs across an organization. It could become expensive to retroactively purchase new credits because your old ones are no longer accepted by recognized registering agencies.
