Introduction on ewaste on mobile and computer

Answer 1

Electronics waste, commonly known as e-scrap and e-waste, is the trash we generate from surplus, broken and obsolete electronic devices. E-waste or electronics recycling is the process of recovering material from old devices to use in new products.


We are creating e-waste at a rapid rate. With such a very short useful life, these electronics transition into e-waste at a rapid pace. In fact, it was estimated that there were 422 million unused and unwanted cell phones accumulating in people's homes by the end of 2015.

Globally, a cell phone is sold to around one of every four people on an annual basis. Every year millions of electronic devices such as mobile phones, TVs, computers, laptops, and tablets reach the end of their useful life
