Where e-waste comes from in Port Elizabeth

Gqeberha, still widely searched as Port Elizabeth, is the centre of South Africa's automotive industry, with vehicle assembly and component suppliers across Nelson Mandela Bay. Production lines use computers, controllers, test rigs and robotics that are retired as models change. The Port of Ngqura and Coega zone add logistics electronics, while a large university, hospitals, schools and the metro municipality replace office IT. Households in Walmer and Kariega also produce appliances. Manufacturers request most collections.
