We all love technology because it makes our lives easy, but the more devices we buy, the more e-waste we will eventually produce. There is nothing wrong with buying and using electronics, but we must start reducing the negative impact.
We've been all taking significant actions to revert pollution and its effects, but we are still very far from being a sustainable society. Things just turned even worse since the beginning of the pandemic because the entire world started throwing away millions of masks, gloves, and wipes every other day. Keeping ourselves secure and protected had turned into a real challenge, and we are all under the work of developing a new green strategy to reduce the environmental impact.
Waste is classified into five different types: liquid, solid, organic, recyclable, and hazardous. What about e-waste? Every other year, thousands of unwanted equipment is disposed of because users want new equipment. This fact means that we have tons of electronic waste and more used equipment waiting to shift into e-waste every year.
Every year, we see millions of new devices launching into the market, and even when it would be impossible to cut down production, we can reduce its impact. Over the last years, we had seen many groups and companies promoting environmental preservation due to the high pollution rates reached every other year. Green Technology is an innovative term that uses technological and scientific resources to develop new techniques to protect the environment. It is constantly looking for new efficient designs that use renewable and recycled resources, less energy, and remove toxic materials.
