Please Recycle Me! The Free Instrument Choice Recycling Program
Australians are among the highest users of technology, and e-waste is one of the fastest-growing types of waste.
Did you know that you can recycle your unwanted test and measurement meters anytime at Instrument Choice for free? As long as they are within the field of products we sell, we'll recycle them for you!
Why Recycle your tech stuff?
When not disposed of correctly, many electronic devices such as test and measurement meters can release toxic materials and substances. Some of the elements found within these instruments include mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium, polyvinyl chloride, and chromium. When discarded without regard or simply put into landfills, these substances can leach into the soil, polluting soil, groundwater, and air.
Moreover, a majority of electronic equipment contains recyclable materials, such as finite precious metals. Instrument Choice strongly urges you to get into the habit of recycling old or disused electronic equipment. You will ensure the recovery of usable parts and precious materials while reducing landfill - win-win!
Our e-waste partners recycle as much as possible. They meticulously sort and dismantle old equipment into their separate groups before sending away for reuse or further processing.

pH levels can affect food making in several ways. In Australia, a food pH meter is a vital tool for anyone involved in producing food - whether you are a serious home chef, a food scientist or a manager of a large-scale food processing facility. This is because pH can impact food flavour, texture, appearance, shelf stability and the fermentation. What’s more, there are specific pH limits and guidelines set by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) to control common foodborne pathogens when creating or using food products such as acidified rice in sushi, non-commercially canned fruits and vegetables, fermented milk or yogurt, or the acidification of raw egg.
This article introduces what pH is, and lists how pH can affect food quality while providing examples of the tools needed for measuring pH to make foods stable, safe and delicious.
