On International Earth Day, Netspring Green IT Programs joined forces with the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai to successfully carry out the 2026 E-waste Recycling Drive. We sincerely thank all organizations and individuals for their active participation and support. Every eco-friendly action helps protect the environment and advance global sustainability.
The drive took place on April 22 at the Chamber’s Suzhou Center and on April 24 at its Shanghai office. This marks the 13th consecutive year that Netspring and the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai have collaborated on Earth Day to practice this green action. The two events received over 1,700 e-waste items, with a total weight exceeding 3.5 tons.
After the event, Netspring will sort and test all received equipment. Severely damaged or obsolete e-waste will be sent to professional plants for safe, eco-friendly disposal. Items suitable for reuse will be refurbished and reintegrated into the Green IT Programs for recycling.
Moving forward, the program remains committed to its mission of “transforming e-waste into e-learning.” We will continue to unlock the circular value of old electronics and build green IT classrooms for remote schools and local communities, supporting equitable access to educational resources through a low-carbon model. We are grateful to our long-time partner, AmCham Shanghai, and to all participating organizations and individuals for their heartfelt support. We look forward to working together again next Earth Day to advance low-carbon and ecological values, protect nature, and build a greener, better home.
