e-Waste Recycling
Because of their electronic components, computers and other electronics cannot simply be thrown away. Chemicals stored in these IT devices can leak into the ground, causing a threat to the environment and individuals in the surrounding area. We do not see these consequences because most of the time desktops, laptops, computer monitors, servers, printers, cell phones, peripherals, and cabling are disposed in developing countries. The Environmental Protection Agency has recognized e-waste as a top priority among other issues, like climate change.
