Electronics Recycling
Discarded
electronic equipment is a growing waste management issue because
it represents a large source of heavy metals and organic
pollutants in the waste stream. Without effective phase-outs
of hazardous chemicals and the development of effective
collection, reuse and recycling systems, highly toxic
chemicals found in electronics will continue to contaminate
soil and groundwater as well as pollute the air, posing a
threat to wildlife and people. .....................................................................................
