A new business model in Vermont wants to make a dent in the huge amounts of e-waste produced globally every year.
The article from WCAX discusses the launch of a new business in South Burlington, Vermont, called "EcoTech Solutions," which focuses on repurposing electronic waste (e-waste). The business, founded by local entrepreneur Sarah Thompson, aims to address the growing problem of e-waste by refurbishing and reselling electronics, thereby reducing environmental impact. EcoTech Solutions not only repairs and sells used electronics but also educates the community on the importance of recycling and proper disposal of electronic devices. The initiative has received support from local environmental groups and is seen as a step towards sustainable practices in the region.
