Abstract

About E-Waste Electronic waste, or ewaste, is electronic equipment that is not properly recycled. Computers, cameras and cell phones are filled with highly toxic materials, like lead, mercury, cadmium and brominated flame retardants. To make matters worse, much of our e-waste is recycled (often illegally) overseas using sub-standard methods that do more harm than good. The amount of old electronics that are discarded every year is rapidly increasing. With lower prices and rapidly changing technology, computers, phones and TV sets now have very short life spans. In many countries, ewaste is the fastest growing type of trash. As electronics become part of the throw away culture in many developed countries, solutions to the problem have lagged far behind
