In an era marked by rapid technological advancement and digital innovation, the increasing rate of electronic waste (e-waste) has become a growing concern for our planet. As gadgets and devices evolve at an astonishing pace, the issue of responsible e-waste management has emerged as a pressing global challenge.
However, in the face of this challenge, there’s a glimmer of hope fueled by the collaboration between forward-thinking organizations and industry leaders. e27 has partnered with Meta to launch the Youth E-Waste Ambassador Program (YEAP) to tackle the escalating issue of electronic waste and promote environmental responsibility among the youths in Singapore
Collaborating for a sustainable tomorrow
In keeping with Meta’s commitment to partner with others to act and develop innovative solutions for a more sustainable world, YEAP aims to empower both individuals and corporations to take meaningful steps towards reducing e-waste. Through targeted campaigns, informative content, and actionable guidelines, the program equips participants with the knowledge they need to make responsible choices.

For individuals, this might mean extending the life of their devices, recycling them properly, or supporting initiatives that promote circular economy practices. For corporations, the partnership provides an opportunity to align their sustainability efforts with a larger movement, showcasing their commitment to environmental stewardship.
Empowering youths for change
YEAP believes in the power of youth to drive meaningful change. By harnessing their energy and passion, this program aims to create a ripple effect that spreads awareness about e-waste challenges and encourages sustainable practices.
We encourage youth between 15 and 35 to join this movement. By coming together, we can reshape the way we interact with technology, reduce e-waste, and create a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
