Revolutionizing Electronic Waste Management with SOGO Synergy
Sustainable Solutions Preserving Environment & Resources
Electronics often contain hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants. Improper disposal of these substances in landfills or through incineration can lead to soil, air, and water contamination, posing significant risks to the environment and biodiversity. Therefore, effective E-Waste management is crucial for environmental protection, public health, resource conservation, and overall sustainability.
The IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) industry plays a vital role in handling the end-of-life cycle of IT equipment and electronics. This industry involves secure and responsible disposal, refurbishment, recycling, or remarketing of used or outdated IT assets.
In 1993, SOGO Computers Pvt. Ltd. was founded by CMD Mr. G Jayamuni Rao. The company is a pioneer in IT product distribution, introducing renowned brands to southern India. Over the years, SOGO has diversified its services to include IT rental, infrastructure solutions, device refurbishing, and most importantly, electronic waste management.
In a recent interview with the company, we delved into their ideas, goals, working style, and future endeavors.
