Eliminating the e-Waste Problem

This video shows an e-waste recycling center in Japan. e-Waste is the garbage made up of electronics such as cell phones, computers, TVs and other modern devices. This story focuses more on the gold which is found in e-Waste, but it also contains lead, zinc and copper and other metals and plastic. All of these materials are recyclable and most are toxic when just thrown in a landfill. Completely recycling e-waste is the only way to not damage the environment when disposing of electronics and it's the only way to make modern technology sustainable. Make sure to recycle your e-waste instead of just throwing it out.
