GAME OVER. NOW WHAT?
All SteelSeries products have parts that can be recycled and repurposed. You can help by taking your electronics, not just SteelSeries products, to local retailers and drop-off points to ensure they are processed properly.
THE PROBLEM
E-waste is one of the fastest growing global waste streams. In fact, the world produces around 50 million tons of E-waste every year. That’s the equivalent weight of almost 4.500 Eiffel Towers.
It’s estimated that less than 20% of global e-waste gets properly recycled. Improper or illegal disposal can lead to environmental pollution and affect the health of communities living near waste sites. (source: https://www.wbcsd.org/contentwbc/download/6469/93115/1)
The electronics we create also contain precious commodities like gold and lithium that have taken a lot of energy and effort to extract/produce and still have great value at the end of the product’s life. We need to keep these materials in circulation so they can be re-used rather than needing to start all over again, sourcing them from scratch.
HOW TO HELP
SteelSeries has partnered with ERI to provide responsible electronics recycling options. Please visit http://eridirect.com/consumer for information (US-based customers only).
Not based in the US? You can ensure that your product is properly recycled by taking it to local recycling partners and e-waste collection centers in your area.
