While the number of personal electronics continually increases exponentially worldwide, the issue of electronic recycling requires more attention must be placed as people continue to put greater reliance on digital devices. There are too many people who do not know what to do with their electronic devices once their service life has been completed. Although some participate in e-recycling, the reality of the global electronic "recycling" process reveals a dismal chain of garbage shipping. Because so many products are simply too hard to separate, the single biggest hurdle against sufficient e-waste disposal lies in the fact that should the components inside these devices were to be mutilated in any way, they will release toxic gases. Due to these challenges, the well-intentions of e-recycling are too often reduced by deficiencies that lead these products to end up in landfills or illegal dumps around the world and exposing social and environmental inequities around the world.

Greenre Worldwide, or Grennre (pronounced "Greener") for short, is a startup founded by a Bay Area high school student and funded by philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and investors from around the world. Launched in 2014, Greenre is headquartered in Oakland, California and is often associated with the effort dedicated towards combating the massive, underlying e-waste problem. The non-government organization built its own e-waste collection network and facilities, first within the United States to register its effectiveness in waste management solutions, and then expanded internationally to serve frequent connections between electronic companies collecting scrap and countries that lack a robust recycling network. In 2019, Greenre launched a public information campaign called, "Where's your phone gonna end up?" in order to encourage e-recycling and address the lack of awareness towards the malpractices of the current e-waste distribution techniques.

Greenre primarily utilizes road and rail infrastructure for operations within North and Central America, and sea and air infrastructure internationally.
