source:inceptive mindE-waste is the world’s fastest-growing domestic waste stream fueled mainly by higher consumption rates of electric and electronic equipment, short life cycles, and few options for repair. Much of it is handled unsafely, causing pollution, human health hazards, and the loss of valuable finite resources.It’s estimated that all those discarded electronic devices – such as mobile phones, laptops, printers – contain precious metals like copper, silver, and even gold, along with a wide range of valuable rare earth elements. These metals, which can be extracted, recycled, and reu...
