The World’s E-Waste Has Reached a Crisis Point
https://www.wired.com/story/e-waste-recycling-cant-keep-up-precious-metals/
A new UN report finds that humanity is generating 137 billion pounds of TVs, smartphones, and other e-waste a year—and recycling less than a quarter of it.
And that is exactly why we need more regulation on this area, because it's NOT sustainable right now.
This was why the EU made it mandatory to use USB-C, so we only need few chargers for everything in our home. This alone were tons of e-waste reduced each year.
We need this thinking in other areas too.
