Footprints Environmental Centre
- Footprints Environmental Centre
Footprints Environmental Centre is a registered non-profit, community-orientated centre in Wynberg, Cape Town, South Africa, focusing on the conservation and wise use of resources and the prevention of pollution and waste of these resources. Footprints was initiated in November 2003 as a response to the lack of and need for practical action, accessible tangible knowledge, know how and opportunities for individuals and communities to take responsible action to reduce their ecological footprints. Footprints aims to provide the motivation, tools, and opportunities, which will enable individuals and communities to take responsible actions to reduce their ecological footprint.
e-Waste programme
TheFootprints e-Waste Programme aims to create awareness and educate individuals and communities about the hazards and toxicity of electronic waste, while at the same time offer a solution for individuals and organisations to dispose of their electronic waste in an environmentally responsible manner.
The Programme offers the opportunity for the public to conveniently and responsibly dispose of this equipment while offering jobs and training from the testing, refurbishing/repairing, stripping down of non-working components and identification and supply of components suitable for "Waste 2 Art" projects and the production of “added value” items.
