Helping Save Earth By Recycling Electronics

By Tiffany Myles R. Welch

Look around you and you might realize that electronics are in every appliance, entertainment, or work device that you are using. The invention of electronics and its development has enable daily living to be more compact, fast, and convenient. This might sound comfortable for the end-user, but the apparent global adverse effects of too much pollution contributed by electronics production has been slowly demonstrated by some of the catastrophic disasters of recent years.

Looking at the end result of these adverse effects can be hard to relate the electronics production as a contributor. But think of the parts of your electronic device, say the most common, mobile phone. If your look at this harmless piece of communication gadget, you have the mobile phone body itself, the battery, and all the other mobile phone accessories you can ever think of – from headphones, chargers, speakers and others.First look at the label on your mobile phone battery. If you can read it, some of the most harmful chemicals are inside the battery. If your battery runs out of its useful life, you usually throw it away. Now think of all those harmful chemicals that made up your battery that can be possibly seep through the dump site earth. You can guess that all those toxic wastes can be absorbed by the soil or if thrown in a body of water, it can contaminate 158 gallons of water. The materials of your printer, say the printer cartridge can also be a disposal problem as of this year, you can connect all the printer cartridge and form a circle around the world. Many electronic disposed items are contributing heavy metal scraps as well in the land fill. This makes the trash harder to process for segregation and other recycling processes.

But there is an emerging solution called electronics recycling that can lessen the impact of electronic junk in destroying earth. It can involve a standard process in collecting, recycling, and then reusing of some of the electronic junk that are present in land fills today. This can require new technology in the equipment or machines to be used in handling electronic recycling procedures to reuse the recoverable electronic parts for reuse in the electronics industry.

Some government laws have been slowly promulgated to ratify recycling policies about recycling in most territories. Some cities have started their electronic junk recycling campaigns by starting with awareness campaigns in schools and the general public. Some prize competitions are even geared into action by looking for innovative inventions in creating the ultimate electronic recycling machine. These are some of the community efforts in finding out better methods of promoting recycling all over the globe.

The most evident effort is being required to big electronic corporations for their green campaigns as part of their social and civic responsibility. Most of these are mobile giant companies that collect their brand obsolete or unusable items in branches and they take charge in their proper and approved disposal. Truly, when working together, electronics recycling around the globe can be a very distinct possibility in a few years.
