These days many of people have their own computer especially for university students because they will always need it to do the assignment from their lecturer and now we can find a computer in every house Some even have more than one. However, the problem is when the computer has been used over an extended period of time and sometimes get damaged due to age factor, and also computers can also be damaged caused by viruses as a result of misuse by the owner. If it has happened, it means that the owner t has to go to computer service center to clean up the virus otherwise they waste their computer although the best option is recycling in order to minimize electronic waste. Because According to the United Nations environmental program research data, there is an estimated 49 million metric tons of waste generated from electronic and computer products on an annual basis on a worldwide scale (epickup.co.nz, n.d.). And also, computer equipment contains materials that can be hazardous to human health and the environment if they are not properly managed (Northwestern.edu, n.d.). That is the reason why we need electronic recycle. Electronic recycling means the practice of reusing, or distributing for reuse, electronic equipment and components rather than discarding them at the end of their lifecycle. Nowadays, there are many kinds and methods of recycling that exists in the world especially for electronic devices, namely computers, because computers have a significant role in our
Electronics Recycling. Electronic recycling is one consideration the company can do better with. Recycling in general lowers greenhouse gas emissions that are caused by manufacturing items for the first time. Recycling electronics conserves natural resources making cleaner air and water. The valuable resources computers and electronic components carry are metals, plastics, and glass. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling a million laptops would give back enough energy for 3500 American homes’ electricity. A million cell phones would could yield 35,000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold, and 33 pounds of palladium. Instead of throwing out the old computers and blackberry’s, the company could simply upgrade the hardware or software and then recycle the parts necessary.
Recycling is presently one of the most controversial topics, considering that while most individuals put across their support regarding the act the number of individuals who actually do something in order to recycle is much smaller. Many people are currently unable or unwilling to recycle properly because the process often requires a series of changes in one's life. It is thus essential for the authorities to provide educational programs meant to assist individuals in understanding why recycling is important and in learning how to recycle effectively. People need to accept the fact that the benefits of recycling will reflect on the future and that conditions are currently critical as a result of the fact that the masses are generally unacquainted with the importance of this process.
How will I help our environment? I will be partnering up with Karlie Ramirez, we have decided on the 21st of October to head up to Giant Rock, located in Lucerne Valley. Over the years mankind has polluted our air drastically, consequently we throw trash on the ground and in our oceans. At worst is air pollution. Exhaust fumes, Radiation spill or nuclear accidents It creates an adverse effect on the overall environment. We put fumes and gases in our air on a daily base and How does this affect our environment? As some of us have seen It kills wildlife and is currently putting a hole in our Ozone Layer. Karlie and I will be heading to pick up trash, approximately for about 5 hours. Before we can move forward, there are a few steps we will need to complete before the 23rd of September. Moving Forward to our first step, will need to speak to our parent about purchasing a few items. Such as, trash bags, gloves and water. Moving on to our Second step, discussing where we will be disposing of all trash we pick up. When you make a point of doing everything you can to help your environment by recycling, your actions make you part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Our third step, talk to our parents about transportation and Location in Giant Rock. After these steps, Karlie and I will be ready to help our earth function and breathe, on the 21st of October. (Here we come Giant Rock!) Everyday items such as soda cans and plastic bottles can be deadly for unsuspecting wildlife.
Have you ever thought, “What do I do with my old iPad that is not working anymore?” We all love playing with the latest electronic gadget, device or computer, but what do you do with the old versions? Most likely you throw them away without even thinking twice about what happens to it. These items are called electronic waste, or e-waste and are causing a lot of problems not just here in the United States but around the world! How do we fix this problem of growing e-waste. Well, thats easy! Recycle them! Recycling Electronics is a big part of this world and trying to save it. The only way to really save the world from this e-waste is to recycle it, and stop putting it in landfills or getting rid of it in some other unhealthy or unsafe way.
As an aftermath of the advancement in technology, the useful life of electrical and electronic equipment has been shortened due to environmental pollution and global legislations. The handling of e-waste including combustion in incinerators, emplace in landfill is no longer permitted. In Australia, the recycling of e-waste, such
These days, our earth has been filled by a lot of waste. There is a lot of garbage, plastic waste, and electronic waste. We always produce it and dump it when we need the new one. Our waste are piling up and continuously accumulating. Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems for us now. And our solution in this problem is recycling. In my opinion, recycling is a way to manage used items into new products. We can reduce, reuse, and recycling (3R) waste management (Peter, 2013). We can reduce our waste clothes with reuse it. There are some reasons why peoples recycle used or unwanted items, which are, prevent wasting unusable materials that still have usage after recycled, reduce the application of raw materials, reduce energy
As society has rapidly become more technologically advanced in the last century, reliance on renewable and nonrenewable natural resources has also increased. In many cases, such advances have helped humans improve the world by making more facile such acts as instantly communicating with people throughout over the world, transporting materials quickly, and having most materials needed for various activities easy to obtain and easy to discard. No other time in recorded history has seen so much potential for continued development of ideas and plans. But all of this does not, and cannot, come without a price. Constantly taking pieces of the earth and harvesting them for human use does wreak havoc on the earth, and as global climate change becomes an increasingly hot topic, there is no avoiding this truth. For this reason, recycling used materials is an effective and necessary way to help the earth because it minimizes the amount of raw materials that need to be processed in order to create a final product.

Recycling is a common practice around the world to reduce the overall quantity of resources needed to produce new products. Whether recycling is cost effective compared to the benefits is widely an unknown detail. The public while weighing the benefits almost never considers the cost of energy and labor in combination with undesired effects of pollution associated with recycling.
From the environmental point of view, recycling is important, because it eliminates hazardous material’s influence.Cui, and Forssberg (2003, 243-263) show that if metals recycle, the majority of energy will be saved. For aluminum, the number of saving energy is 95%. In respect of accessibility for consumers, there are some disadvantages because of the cost. If people bought their equipment before the “PC Recycling Mark” was enacted, they should pay fees of approximately US$40(PC3R, 2008; Terazono et al., 2006; Yoshida et al., 2007). If their equipment has installed “PC Recycling Mark”, they will not pay fee, because it is included within the price of equipment. However, people can sell their old electronics to the recycling companies and retrieve some money. Evidence for complication of feasibility has been asserted by Liu et al.(2006) and Greenpeace(2005), which showed that recycling still may doing by hand and it injures the worker’s
In essence, the advancement in technology has come with countless benefits that have made the life of human beings better by providing convenience in communication, transportation, health and among other areas that are significant to the lives of the people. However, technology has also presented significant challenges that have threatened the lives of the people and the use of such innovations. In this regard, electronic waste commonly referred to as “e-waste” is one of the biggest challenges facing people all over the world for the production of the electrical and electronic equipment has been growing rapidly in the past decades. Therefore, the rise in demand for this equipment and the high obsolete rate has made e-waste of the fastest growing source of waste. For this reason, experts have come out to suggest various methods that can be used to contain this menace. In particular, the solutions include the involvement of businesses, recycling and donations.
Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest growing form of solid waste. Most of the world’s e-waste, 80% to 90% is produced in developed countries and then transferred to developing countries for disposal. Recycling e-waste
It is estimated that e-waste accounts for the 20 to 25 million tons every year due to which recycling is considered as an important aspect in order to utilize the components of the e-waste and reduce its environmental hazards. E-waste comprises of the components that mainly comprises of lead, beryllium, cadmium and brominated flame retardants and these components are found to be exerted from the computers, electric wires, computer monitors, LCDs, computer chips and computer plastics. It is observed that the disposal and recycling of e-waste results in the reaction of these components to the environment, which eventually imposes adverse effects on the climate (Widmer et al. 435).
Employees on the computer team and in the service and repair area can recycle all the old electronic equipment that the company is no longer using. Old wire and cable can be recycled in addition to computers, monitors and printers. Most printer cartridges that are recycled can be remanufactured to specs as good as the original and are sold for less. Recycling electronics helps to keep hazardous materials out of landfills and there are network drop-off facilities.
Health is always considered the most important factor for human’s lives. Without health, we cannot do anything. There are many factors in daily activities that can affect your health such as food, drinks, soil, water, air, or we can say the environment around us. Because the environment plays a vital role to human’s’ health, we are trying to do everything to conserve the environment. However, there are still some activities that we might think they are safe for us and the environment; it they actually kills us in far the future. One of them is recycling electronics equipment. Nowadays, electronic waste (e-waste) is increasing rapidly in the US and many people know that they should not just throw e-waste in the garbage
