E-waste

Waste generated from the use of electronic products such as computers, printers and mobile phone devices. Because of the fast turnover in technology, obsolete electronic gear is accumulating worldwide as a major amount of global waste. Businesses face more daunting e-waste situation since they replace hundreds of desktop or laptop computers, cell phones, or printers at a time and the old units have little or no trade-in value. New industries are being created to recycle old computer systems and other e-waste.
