Electronic Waste
Electronic waste, or e-waste, refers to discarded electrical or electronic devices. This includes items like computers, smartphones, televisions, and batteries. As technology advances, many people replace their old devices, leading to a growing amount of e-waste. Improper disposal can harm the environment due to toxic materials found in these products.
Recycling e-waste is essential to recover valuable materials and reduce pollution. Many components, such as copper, gold, and plastic, can be reused. Specialized facilities handle e-waste to ensure safe processing and minimize environmental impact. Proper recycling helps conserve resources and promotes sustainability in the electronics industry.
