Where does your PlayStation go when you return it for refurb or upgrades? If you’re living in the UK, it could find new life in the form of pens or plastic chairs. The Electronic Waste Company, one of the leading UK electronic recycling companies, has announced plans to carry out the first stage of recycling busted Sony PlayStation consoles. The first goal is to shred and process and estimated 250 tonnes (about 300,000 cases) in the first year. The company pledges to reuse or recycle 100% of all equipment they receive. Nothing collected or brought to The Electronic Waste Company is sent to landfill. For now, they are only recycling the plastic casing for the PlayStation consoles, but they’re currently figuring out how they can process other recyclable components such as clips and foam. Going green FTW!

I wouldn’t ever give away a console unless it’s busted and even then since I know electronics I’d try to fix it or use the components myself. still chairs? really?
