Unwanted electronic items become luxury of many labourers in UAE

Even the scorching heat could not take away the spirit of the young students who volunteered to come forward and pass on their unwanted electronics and gadgets to the UAE labourers bringing a smile to many.

Eros Group, leading distributors of world renowned brands, and Greenfield Community School today distributed reusable electronics and gadgets to the laborers at the labour camp in Dubai Investment Park.

The ‘PASS IT ON’ campaign was kick started in Greenfield Community School on 9th May 2013 with a forum for students, parents, visitors and teachers to tackle the e-waste problem in the UAE. Through the forum, the students were encouraged to make a commitment to pass on their unwanted electronic products to the laborers in the UAE who could have better use for them. During the one month long campaign at Greenfield Community School, Eros group organized various sessions for the students and their parents to create awareness on the benefits of electronic ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’.

The awareness campaign is in its 4th year now and aims at reducing electronic waste through extending the life cycle of electronic products by giving them away to those less fortunate.
