E- waste story

We produce 20-50 million of E-Waste (electronic waste) every year.
If they would be put into containers on a train it would go once around the world.
Mobile phones, television, computer are upgrading more frequently than ever before.
This involve a huge problem in term of pollution and garbage disposal.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that as much as three quarters of the computers sold in the US are stockpiled in garages and closets. When thrown away, they end up in landfills or incinerators or, more recently, are exported to Asia or Africa.

Let’s fallow the E-waste story
