Create Awareness
WorldLoop works to raise national and international awareness and driving action to address the environmental and human risks of e-waste, with a particular focus on the developing world.
As general knowledge about the hazards and proper disposal of e-waste is staggeringly low at the grassroots level, driving consumer awareness is essential. While there is a lot of international coverage on the dangers of e-waste in developing countries, WorldLoop is able to show a new paradigm. Through our projects, WorldLoop has been able to validate e-waste as a positive resource, reducing pollution, supporting job creation and promoting resource conservation.
