Cables were used for the first time in the 19th century when the first public electric lighting was used in the United Kingdom. Ever since then, cables are part of every grid interface. It seems that the rapid advance of technology didn’t change this fact. Although wireless technology is developing very fast, the fact is that cables cannot be replaced yet. Their presence is especially visible in offices and classrooms where you can find many electronic and electric devices. For example, a single computer has at least three cables attached to it. Modern cables are very durable, but just like any other product they have certain life expectancy. Once they reach that age they become useless and need to be replaced.But, what happens to the old cables? Many individuals and companies decide to throw these cables in the municipal trash or store them. The latter option is not very practical because almost every home and business facility needs more space and keeping useless materials is certainly not practical. On the other hand, throwing used cables in the municipal trash is dangerous and even illegal. These cables contain many dangerous materials which pollute the soil and air. Burning these cables will make even greater damage to the nature. This is one of the reasons why safe cable removal and recycling is important. During the burning process, cables release furans and dioxins, very toxic compounds that can cause serious damage to the environment even in small amounts.Of course, not all cables are the same and they contain different materials, but all of them contain some hazardous materials like aluminum, copper, PE and PVC, lead, iron etc. Now let’s see why safe cable removal and recycling is important and what benefits we can expect.To start with, recycling gives us the opportunity to produce new cables in an easier way. The materials are reused in the process of production of new cables. Of course, these materials that are gathered from the recycling can be used as raw materials for production of other items too. In addition, recycling gives us the chance to save the natural resources. Instead of practicing the dangerous process of mining we can directly use the materials from the recycling process.In this way we are practically saving the energy needed for production. This energy also leads to pollution. The best part about recycling is that it protects the nature from numerous toxic substances and their effects. It also protects the health of people and the health of all living beings on our planet. Recycling has proven to be an excellent way to support the national economic growth and to create new job positions. These recycling facilities need manpower and they usually hire people from the area where they are located which means that the local economy benefits the most.We hope that all these things that we have mentioned will help you understand why safe cable removal and recycling is important.
