Question

plastic recycling rules and e - waste recycling plastic disposal methods​

Answer 1

Answer:

It’s been estimated that around the world, people generated 44.7 million metric tons of electronic waste in 2016, with the U.S. alone responsible for 6.3 million tons, or 14 percent of the world’s total. Which is why, now more than ever, it’s important that there are new ways of e-waste and plastic disposal.

Those are scary numbers because electronic waste has two key components. One is toxins, which when placed in community landfills can pose environmental threats to the soil and water there.

That’s a key reason why there’s such a strong push today to recycle e-waste, so it doesn’t create significant long term environmental and health problems. But we know that e-waste also contains valuable reusable materials, which when removed from these devices can be used to make new products. Those reusable materials include precious metals, gold, platinum, copper wiring – and plastics.

E-waste removal isn’t that difficult once you set up a strategy. Proper recycling of these materials helps ensure they won’t end up polluting our air, soil and waterways.
