According to United Nations estimates, 40 million tons of electronic refuse is produced each year. How can we reduce electronic rubbish? Can it be re-used or recycled?
The Wurth Group, a world leader in the distribution of construction products and systems has donated 63 PCs.
Antionio Perilli (38) computer technician at the Capena branch in the Province of Rome, is passionate about recycling. “Why should we have thrown out 63 machines in good condition? They could be useful for schools!“explains Antonio. So, he contacted the Fondazione Mondo Digitale to donate the PCs to the Recycling Labs. Antonio, in fact, is a former student at Itis Pascal in Rome, one of the schools that collaborates with the Fondazione.
The Circolo didattico di Torrimpietra and Itis Armellini in Rome run the Recycling Labs to repair PCs and donate them to elderly centers or used them in the computer labs for the Grandparents on the Internet courses.
This brief interview with Antonio Perilli ends with a promise: a training session for the Recycling Lab students.
