Waste disposal is becoming one million jobs. Raw materials that are hidden in the worn electronic waste are needed to manufacture new devices. Demand for modern electronic devices and gadgets is increasing, so it is assumed that it will use in the production of gold to go up.
We produce about 1.3 billion cell phones, and only 10% end up in waste recycling. This data suggests that people annually throw 20-22 tons of gold in the garbage and they did not even realize it.
Did you know that the average user changes his computer every two years?
That in 1998. year in America, thrown 21 million PCs, while for 2005. The forecast figure of 315 million?
Large companies have come to realize that the more they pay to come to recycle materials from old computers and hardware rather than buy new (latest studies have shown that recycling saves at least 240 billion U.S. dollars per year).
Electronic waste currently represents one-quarter of the world of waste - and that number increases every three years by 30%, and only 10% is recycled properly. That is why the Association for the Preservation Agency (EPA) under contract with major hardware manufacturers, initiated the action "Plug-In To Recycling 'and enabling mek bargain recycling.
