How 6 Million Pounds Of Electronic Waste Gets Recycled A Month | Big Business

Ғылым және технология

Only 17% of electronic waste is recycled. That’s because devices aren’t designed to be recycled. They’re full of tiny, toxic materials that are hard and expensive to break down. But if extracted safely, those materials could mean big money for e-recyclers like Sims Lifecycle Services. We visit Sims’ Tennessee recycling facility to find out why e-waste is getting harder to deal with.

    The company that sets up a factory to manufacture anything must also be required to set up another factory, at the same time, to recycle what it manufactures. It's ridiculous that companies are allowed to manufacture as much (soon-to-be) waste as they like and for others to have to keep up with them to try to undo their damage.

    Yeh that's coming for people and how laws and regulations are going to change, World Economic Forum mentioned this once or twice they'll force companies to have Repair Services cos right now they've totally got rid of Repair SErvices where there's nothing you can do if it breaks and they know this will help them make more money... nah... if it can be repaired or new parts put in then they should make the effort like they used to. I think the way we can help keep devices in circulation is design them in a way that we can have it adapted to the latest Technology rather than throwing the whole thing away... Nokia are doing this with their old phones to be able to use the latest SIM Cards, Batteries and a few other parts and they're still able to make Texts and Calls no problem. When we start paying for everything Digitally which we already are, they can't get rid of Debit Cards either we'll still be using those cos the Tech just isn't reliable enough yet to be so reliant on it for everything and What if it breaks or you lose it? so... What's the point of using a Mobile Phone for anything but Texts and Calls? and we have Tablets and Computers, Why not just get a Tablet if you need it for more important things? or a Gaming Laptop?. At the end of the decade we'll be connected to the Internet Satellite Grid where we'll be able to connect to it anywhere too so we'll be able to choose 1 device to do everything on and honestly i'd totally go with a Tablet or Laptop i don't see Mobile Phones lasting to try and use it for everything so at least it's a shame to waste those, i think they should go back to a simple device just for Texts and Calls so nobody feels obligated to keep up with the latest software. As for Laptops, PCs and Tablets they should stop changing the size of the parts so often and keep it to a standard size for a couple decades at least so we can repurpose it with the latest parts, they intentionally keep changing the size of the parts like every couple of years these days... no need for it at all.

    The EU has a new law since this year which force companies to sell replacements and increase the update support as part of the customers rights. They also plan to force companies to use the USB-C with PD 3.0 as charging port, to reduce the need of cables with different connectors and make it easier to use fast charging with different devices on the same charger. Only the full right to repair is something, what the EU talks about but don't make because of the pressure of Big Tech. I mean, Apple plans a lawsuit against the EU and criticise the EU for the new ports requirement, even while the industry got 9 years to create an own industrial norm.

It's so annoying and pointless when i have to go to the trouble of figuring it out on my own when they could have just said.

This made me feel so good to watch it, even though most e-waste isn't currently recycled and even though smartphone makers seem insistent upon 2-year planned obsolescence (by making phones whose batteries aren't easy to change and by not providing software updates longer).

    @@TheBloodyHarvest That's a very cynical view of the world. It's not true that people only do things for profit. Otherwise, people would never give away money expecting nothing in return. But people do just that all the time. There is profit involved in recycling because no one wants to spend their life's savings on it because they'll need that money later to live on. Can't fault someone for wanting pay for what they do. That's not a bad thing -- to be paid for your work. It's fair. One thing for another. You act like any time someone makes money it's bad. But it's good. To give nothing to someone in return for their services or goods is bad; it's basically stealing, unless the person chooses to give it away for free. But no one is expected to give away everything, or even anything. Altruism is optional.

Sometimes companies are composed of several people at the top that have final say. It doesn't matter. You can be a company that makes a profit and still be doing good for the world. You act like those two things are mutually exclusive, like anytime money is exchanged, evil is going on. And to say that no one/company ever gives away money or other things or services for free without expecting things in return is just false. There is also nothing wrong with wanting a good public image. That is a healthy thing to care about how you are perceived, to some degree. Oftentimes, the good things people do come back to them. That is true. That is a good thing. Good should come back to those that do good. It also serves as a motivation for doing good things.

Basically all machines were invented by a European man anyone with a brain knows that & those same men have been naming their creations with mostly feminine names because we like our ladies & we like our names. Of course not all names are feminine like “Ginger” yet they still joke of it being female dominant. Silly joke but just a joke nonetheless.

They also did revenue sharing with the clients.

    @@torchandhammer well then you sit there with your torch and your hammer and you recover it then. You'll be on Easy St. in no time! Until you stop and think how they can afford to put those capacitors all over circuit boards. It's because when they're new they only cost a fraction of a cent to buy. So there can't be much in them that's particularly valuable. The people making the parts certainly are not operating at a loss. They're making money too. So if they're selling the part for a fraction of a cent imagine how cheap it is for them to make it. There's not much there in material costs. There can't be. With our present technology it is not worth recovering. Now if we had Star Trek replicators then we'd be getting somewhere. They could disassemble junk on the atomic level. But we can't do that. We basically just have torches and hammers today.

What we couldn't do we would take pieces of tech apart and put it on the pallets you see in the video that they are unloading. Back then it didn't seem like much of an issue when we only had CPU's that ran at 400mhz, and upgrading your computer was only really needed every 5 years or so...and lack of cell phones. Now though it has definitely became a major issue. One thing to note your electronic recycle at your landfill will probably just incinerate it instead and cause more pollution. Not all landfills process e-waste.

    Apple messed with the laws making it illegial to recycle Apple products like that. Also Apple products are purposfuly super weak.

    We need to hold companies accountable for the full life cycles of their products. They should be paying recyclers to take in their e-waste across the board. Putting the onus on the consumer and society as a whole is madness.

    You could probably become a disassembler and work the line with forklift certification. For the reuse/refurbishment area, basic knowledge in electronics and computer hardware. To run the facility, a Master's in electronic engineering, project management experience and lots of startup capital to invest in the space, technology and training personnel.

    Some recycling yards here in Australia, take e-waste and pay you for it. As this video shows it's very intensive to recycle the waste. If Sims were to look at cash for e-commerce waste yards then maybe just maybe less might go into land fill or worse (other countries - the contents is toxic is so many ways)..

    Probably just for organization. All of these are sold as refurbished drives to basically anyone who wants to buy them, and there's always a risk with buying refurbished goods. They can sell smaller numbers easily on eBay and charge a bit more for each drive, while on wholesale (Alibaba) they can require minimum order quantities and dump as many as possible.

    This is actually the best idea I've heard of yet. Carefully remove the old parts of the computer, that you can reuse and then recycle what you can't re-purpose. That makes a lot of sense. A refurbished computer can work just as well or better sometimes, that a new computer. 17% of all electronics get recycled. That's good to know.
