Infoactiv website updates!

Our website is improving, with more regular updates. We will also be making eWaste collection an easy to follow step by step process on the website, for collection and environmentally friendly disposal.

Interesting week this week, not just because of the races cup, but for the result of the EPHC meeting and the potential for a National approach to eWaste. This will involve the notion of extended producer responsibility and the need for companies to do more to comply. More information will be made available on the wesbite later this week.

Managing Director’s Blog

Welcome to the new-look Infoactiv website!

The big changes are with our increasingly popular GreenScaping program. We have added extra details on how it works and what the benefits are, government legislation and an up-to-date guide to all the upcoming recycling events. You can also find out more on how our unique Logistics, Loginet and Consulting services can help with your end-to-end supply chain management requirements. And you can still access all the usual information such as our Partners, Our People and Our Company Profile, as well as the online Bookings, Tracking and Service Information, to give you access to your details when you need them.
We will keep updating our website with all the latest news in supply chain management solutions, monthly blogs, where we invite you to have your say and all the details on the planned eWaste government legislation - so you don’t miss a thing.

eWaste – Who do you think is responsible?

With Federal and State Governments currently in talks over a possible legislation to help control Australia’s eWaste problem, I’d like to ask the question – who do you think should be held responsible? Does the onus lay completely with government for not controlling the problem sooner, or is it all the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who should be thinking more about the end-of-life for all electronic products, and not just about selling new models? Should consumers bear the responsibility and cost given that it is our choice to buy the latest and greatest in technology and dispose of the old – should each and every one of us be held responsible? But without knowledge of how to recycle eWaste or who to turn to, consumers are left with no choice but to dump their old electronics as they would normal waste. And this is where the problem lies. If OEMs were to put an easy and clear system in place that is well advertised to consumers, recycling of eWaste could become as easy as recycling glass and plastic bottles. This is why it is important for State and Federal Government to put strict guidelines in place that hands the responsibility over to organizations – so they HAVE to develop their own strategy for all their own products. It won’t be long before this is a reality. What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions about who is responsible, who should pay for recycling and what action should be taken.
