According to the EPA, manufacturing
one desktop computer requires fossil
fuels and chemicals that amount to at
least 9 times the weight of the
computer!
More than 90% of electronic
equipment is recyclable.
Cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
mercury, chromium, barium,
beryllium and brominated flameretardant materials are components
that can pollute water and air
resources without proper disposal or
recycling.
Cell phones are made from valuable
resources such as precious metals,
copper, and plastics—all of which
require energy to mine and process.
One of the fastest growing [hazardous]
waste streams is e-waste such as
computers, television sets and mobile
cell phones.
Hazardous waste is threatening human
health and the environment globally.
Much of it is being exported to other
countries, often to developing nations.
