Where do our old devices go when we upgrade?
26/11/2024
The rise in electronic device use has made E-Waste a pressing issue. With 90% of people owning phones and frequent upgrades, only 20% of E-Waste is properly recycled. The rest often ends up in landfills, posing environmental and health risks. Key strategies to address this include extending device lifespans, refurbishing old electronics, and recycling valuable materials. Innovations in recycling and upcycling are helping to reduce waste and create new opportunities, contributing to a more sustainable future.
