Here and Now Connecticut passed e-Waste handling and disposal laws in CT Requires manufacturers to register and pay a fee to sell electronics in the state. They also maintain a list of Non-Compliant Electronics manufacturers. Connecticut e-Waste disposal ban only covers: –Televisions –CRT’s –Desktops –Laptops –Monitors

Laws? Maybe Laws vary widely from state to state, from widely encompassing laws to none.

US e-Waste Statistics

Contaminates in e-Waste Lead (Pb) Cadmium (Cd) Mercury (Hg) Hexavalent Chromium (Cr) Poly Vinyl Chlorides (PVC) Brominated Flame Retardants Nickel (Ni) Beryllium (Br)

Trash or Treasure? Palladium – 13% Cobalt – 15% Gold – 3% Silver – 3% The above numbers represent the percentage of world production that goes into electronics manufacturing. As few as 41 discarded cell phones can yield 1 gram of gold. (Au = $41.47 on )(Production = ~$1,000 per ounce) Other valuable components: Aluminum, copper, nickel and platinum.

HP Ranked #1 by Greenpeace! Recycling and sustainability efforts by Hewlett- Packard has garnered them the number one spot in Greenpeace’s ranking of Green Electronics Companies. Also highly ranked by Greenpeace: –Nokia –Acer –Dell –Apple –Samsung

Not in MY Backyard! Only 25% of e-Waste gets recycled. The other 75% goes, somewhere. The EU requires manufacturers to take back electronic products and either repair, reuse, or recycle. In spite of strict EU regulations, large amounts of e-Waste still end up in third world countries. These wastes contribute to an ever growing environmental, health and social catastrophe that may have a long lasting effect on the world’s environment.
