Computers and Televisions are sent to PGM Refiners in Melbourne for recycling. This company recycles e-waste in accordance with Australian legal requirements under the Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1989 as well as under recognised international standards. PGM Refiners' recycling facility breaks down e-waste into it major components and raw materials. They then apply value-adding processes to e-waste materials which are then used by manufacturers to create new consumer products.
