Cellphones for recycling?
According to some sources in Croatia 'applies to the neighboring countries' on a year by collecting 4 kilograms of electric and electronic waste per inhabitant. The average for the EU is 14 pounds of waste per capita, but what is interesting is that in Croatia and neighboring countries outside the EU that waste almost never recycled.
Awareness of collecting electronic waste, environment and large energy savings in our country is still in a difficult level. However, if we imagine a bit and re-read the title of this post we can see that the laziness and carelessness of our planet can cost thousands of dollars, the kuna, euro or marks ... whichever one year or less.
In addition to recycling electronic waste to obtain gold there are many other materials that make cash contributions and failing unless validly tendered and eventually recycled.
The same reports indicate that in Croatia for a year or imported in it produced 73,000 tons of electronic devices, while the recorded collection of waste from these devices on an annual basis until 5700 tons.
Roughly counting, according to statistical data available, in Croatia a year properly disposed of only 1.29 pounds of electronic waste per inhabitant, which is less than half of the 'de-committed' waste per capita per year.
A bunch of money to waste ...
Collection and recycling of electronic and electronic equipment can be a very lucrative business. In fact, tons of discarded used cell phones 'about 6,000' contains 3.5 kg of silver, 340 grams of gold, 140 grams of palladium and 130 kg of copper.
Experts who deal with the problem of electronic waste disposal calculated that one ton of electrical and electronic waste contains over 15,000 U.S. dollars worth of metals. Elements such as plastic, glass and similar are not taken into account, even though they are recyclable.
GOLD, SILVER, COPPER - CASH
