Benefits of Recycling Electronics in the United States

0

Created on: Jun 8, 2009 8:01 AM by INFORM - Last Modified:  Jul 16, 2009 4:06 PM by INFORM

INFORM is an organization that studies innovative technologies, practices and products that provide practical solutions to complex environmental and health-related problems. The accompanying fact sheet looks at the benefits of recycling electronics in the United States.

This fact sheet references laws in Europe and the US that finance the collection and recycling of discarded electronics. These laws reduce the amount of waste generated, prevent the release of hazardous materials into our ecosystems, and conserve the earth’s limited resources by reducing raw material extraction and encouraging more sustainable approaches to manufacturing. This fact sheet also highlights products not included in US laws and identifies research that explains why they should be included in take-back programs.
