Steps to SOLVE the E-Waste Epidemic

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 01:51:37 -0400

1. Optimize the life cycle of electronic equipment via:

Remove substances that become toxic to environments in backyard recycling (e.e. PVC in wire-cabling)
Enhancing re-use capabilities (labeling parts/systems)
Enhancing the recycle-ability of materials in end of life electronics

2. Promote re-use of equipment & increase utilization of resources

3. Raise awareness about the disparities (in the digital divide) between industrialized and industrializing nations.

4. Increase public, scientific and business knowledge about the effects of electronic waste
