Where e-waste comes from in Rustenburg

Rustenburg is known as the platinum capital of the world, surrounded by large platinum group metal mines and smelters. These operations use control rooms, communications networks, cap lamps and battery systems that generate a steady stream of e-waste, and a large network of mining contractors and engineering firms adds more. Municipal offices, retail centres, schools and residential areas around Rustenburg and Tlhabane retire computers and appliances. Mines and their contractors are the main clients.
