Landfill space is limited, and we are quickly running out of it. If you throw away your old electronics, you are just taking up space in these limited landfills. How much space is being wasted on electronic devices? It’s estimated that the India produces around 200 million tons of waste every year, and at least 1% of this waste can be classified as an electronic device. Conserve as much landfill space as possible by recycling your old electronics.
Older electronics are made with toxic chemicals including lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium. If you don’t dispose of electronics properly, these chemicals will be released into the environment and could do a great deal of harm. One computer monitor alone can contain as much as four to eight pounds of lead and other toxic substances. In fact, it is estimated that about 70% of heavy metals that end up in our landfills have come from electronic devices.
If you choose to recycle your electronic devices, some materials can be recovered from the devices and used to make new products. This means fewer new resources will need to be used to meet the growing demand for electronic devices. What materials can be reused? Electronic devices consist of a sizable amount of precious metals, but very little of it is recovered because people do not recycle these devices.
