Electronics recycling is the process of collecting and processing old electronic devices to recover valuable materials and reduce waste. This includes items like computers, smartphones, and televisions. By recycling these products, harmful substances such as lead and mercury can be safely managed, preventing environmental pollution. The recycling process typically involves dismantling the devices to separate components like metals, plastics, and glass. Recovered materials can then be reused in the production of new electronics or other products. This not only conserves natural resources but also promotes sustainable practices in the electronics industry.
