E-waste is the world's fastest growing waste mountain. But there are ways to stop this development.
Mushrooms are the forests' great recyclers, but can they also help reduce electronic waste?
Researchers have extracted precious metals from e-waste in a way that's better for the environment fights one of the fastest-growing hazards to our climate and health.
Whether it's discarded smartphones, TVs or kitchen appliances - electronic waste is an ever-growing problem. In a bid to help stem the tide, researchers in Germany have now developed a biodegradable display.
As the pace of technology quickens, older electronic goods are increasingly thrown out. In Egypt, much of this e-waste finds its way onto the streets. A new app wants to change that.
When it comes to e-waste, the world’s got problems. But the mismanagement of electronic materials has the potential to be revolutionised with a circular approach and a global vision.
We know that electric and electronic items shouldn't be thrown away with our regular waste - they need proper handling to prevent environmental contamination, and to recoup the valuable resources used in their production. But what are we meant to do with them when they reach the end of their life? In Germany, ELECTRORETURN is here to help.
Californian startup Isidore Electronics Recycling is turning electronic waste recycling into employment opportunities for people coming out of the criminal justice system.
We chat with EcoATM Founder, Mark Bowles, about innovative ways to deal with electronic waste and how the very thing behind e-waste - technology - can also be used to tackle it.
