The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is honored to have had the opportunity to provide support to the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture. Recognizing the essential need for senior survivors to maintain connectivity through social media platforms, ERA has contributed by donating five laptops, effectively assisting these individuals who are currently facing financial constraints in acquiring the necessary equipment.

The Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture (CCVT) is a non-profit founded by a group of Toronto doctors, lawyers and social-service professionals, many of whom were associated with Amnesty International.
Each year, Canada welcomes more than 20,000 refugees, many of them survivors of torture and war. As Canadians, we all want to see these newcomers integrate successfully. We want them to become productive citizens and good neighbours. For this to happen, they must have the opportunity to heal from their trauma. CCVT is the link to that healing. They provide treatment, tools and support that allow refugees to heal from trauma and become active community members.
The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to address the growing problem of e-waste and the increasing ‘digital divide’. For over fifteen years, ERA has offered simple solutions to help individuals and organizations prevent operational equipment from premature destruction. With a focus on recovery, refurbishment and reuse, ERA continuously supplies charitable groups with donated IT equipment while securely managing the retiring IT assets of organizations and individuals across Canada.
ERA believes that reuse before recycling is critical in managing the waste created by computer hardware, and by offering industry-leading data destruction for all equipment received, hundreds of tons of equipment has been securely repurposed. Because not everything ERA receives can be reasonably repurposed, they have partnered with certified recycling organizations to process equipment that has reached the end of its productive life.
Doing our part to reduce our environmental impact and encourage goodwill among our communities is of the upmost importance to ERA. When you recycle your electronics, you’re making a difference in your neighbourhood and in the world at large.
