Under-recycling: Despite the potential risks and resource waste associated with e-waste, only a small fraction of it is properly recycled. In many cases, e-waste is shipped to developing countries where it is often not managed in an environmentally responsible manner.
Long-term Effects: The effects of improper e-waste disposal can persist for decades or even centuries, leading to long-term harm to the environment and human health.
Costly: The cost of managing e-waste can be high, as specialized facilities and processes are required to safely and responsibly dispose of the hazardous materials found in many electronic devices.
Importance of Recycling: Proper e-waste recycling can help reduce the environmental and health impacts associated with the disposal of electronic devices, as well as conserve valuable resources and minimize the waste of valuable materials.
