The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) donated a computer and printer to Potters Without Borders located in Enderby, BC. They required hardware for setting up a dedicated office and storing sensitive research material and the ERA was happy to help!
Potters Without Borders (PWB) is a registered Canadian charitable organization that provides socially responsible assistance to pottery groups and individuals. Founded in 2006, by a group of like-minded friends, they work to promote the utilization of Ceramic Water Filters (CWFs).
Individuals and organizations contact Potters Without Borders seeking to become connected to the ceramic water filter community. They have over 15 years of involvement with ceramic water filters, and have been providing free assistance to new and growing filter factories around the world. They also arrange for technicians to provide in-person consultation for factory feasibility, training, setup, and troubleshooting. They share skills, equipment, and information among a world-wide network of technicians, researchers and producers, and those interested in implementing filter facilities. They work with an open-source philosophy, collecting and distributing the latest developments in CWF technology.
They do not build or own any filter facilities, do not profit from the sale of filters, and do not have funds to create new facilities. To see how they can help you assess your project and field any inquiries involved with CWF technology, and its implementation, check out their website HERE.
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.
We believe that reuse before recycling is critical in managing the waste created by computer hardware, and by offering industry-leading data destruction for all equipment we receive, we have securely repurposed hundreds of tons of equipment. Because not everything ERA receives can be reasonably repurposed, we have partnered with certified recycling organizations to process equipment that has reached the end of its productive life.
