Christian Science Monitor, November 25, 2009 By Moises Velasquez-ManoffE-waste recycling – are solutions near?E-waste poses a large and growing problem around the world. Americans generated 3.01 million tons of the stuff in 2007, according to the EPA. But only 13.6 percent of it was recycled. As e-waste recycling is subject to almost no oversight, some 50 to 80 percent of e-waste is, in fact, exported to developing countries, according to watchdog organizations. There, people often extract scrap metal, circuit boards, and other resalable materials without adequate protective material. In doing so, they’re potentially exposed hazardous materials — lead, mercury, and cadmium, among them. |
