👋 About Me
Hi, I’m the founder of TechSalvaging — a mission-driven project dedicated to giving old, unwanted, and broken tech a second chance at life. ♻️💻
With a lifelong passion for technology ⚙️ and a deep commitment to reducing e-waste, I launched TechSalvaging to:
- 🛠️ Rescue discarded electronics
- 🔧 Fix what others toss away
- 🔁 Repurpose gadgets for meaningful reuse
From faulty consoles 🎮, tired old laptops 💼, to well-worn phones 📱, I believe every device has potential. Through hands-on repair, deep cleaning, and full refurbishment, I transform forgotten tech into functional tools ready for a new home. 🧼✨
But TechSalvaging is about more than just tech. It’s about:
- 🌍 Sustainability
- 🔄 Circular economy
- 🚫 Keeping usable hardware out of landfills
📊 UK E-Waste by the Numbers (2024)
- 🗑️ 1.65 million tonnes of e-waste generated annually
- 🔄 Only ~30% is properly recycled
- 🚚 187,000 tonnes exported illegally
- 🔥 Estimated 300,000 tonnes end up in landfill or incineration
- 💸 £927 million in recoverable value is lost each year
