Electronic waste is one of the great challenges of society today: thanks to program obsolescence and our consumerist nature, there are many electronic devices in the garbage causing great damage to the environment
Electronic waste or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are all electronic devices, from cell phones, tablets and computers to TVs, dishwashers and clothes washers, refrigerators, etc., that have been discarded by their owners.
With the popularization of mobile telephony and personal computing, the generation of electronic waste has increased a lot, both because buying a new device is often simpler than fixing it, as well as the stimulus of programmed obsolescence, practiced by manufacturers to encourage the consumer to Always exchange your devices for new ones, usually once a year (or less often).
Some elements contained in electronic waste, although biodegradable, can remain in the soil for centuries, contaminating everything in the meantime. Noble materials such as gold, silver, copper and platinum, in addition to rare metals, are difficult to obtain in nature. It is always preferable for the user to dispose of the devices correctly.
