E-Waste Disposal Practices

Estimates put the amount of electronic waste produced annually at around 50-60 million tons, a number that continues to increase. While this is only a small percentage of the total waste produced around the world, the toxic components that can be found in electronic waste can have a disproportionate effect on the environment. Some electronics, like batteries, are prohibited from being disposed of by consumers in the general waste stream (in some countries, at least), but not all electronics have such restrictions. When disposal is used, e-waste typically winds up in landfills or incinerators, both of which can release harmful chemicals to the environment.

With disposal discarded as an option, there are three general remaining scenarios: reuse, refurbishment, or recycling. For the general consumer, the specifics of the more sustainable methods are often irrelevant; individuals need only find a company that collects e-waste. However, research should be done to determine the end location for the waste, as some collection agencies simply ship the waste off to other countries for disposal. (There is also the question of wiping electronics which can contain personal information, but that is a topic for a different forum.)

"The California state government has passed a landmark law that obligates technology companies to provide parts and manuals for repairing smartphones for seven years after their market release.

Senate Bill 244 passed 65-0 in the Assembly, and 38-0 in the Senate, and made California, the seat of so much of American technological hardware and software, the third state in the union to pass this so-called “right to repair” legislation.

On a more granular level, the bill guarantees consumers’ rights to replacement parts for three years’ time in the case of devices costing between $50 and $99, and seven years in the case of devices costing more than $100, with the bill retroactively affecting devices made and sold in 2021.

Similar laws have been passed in Minnesota and New York, but none with such a long-term period as California.

“Accessible, affordable, widely available repair benefits everyone,” said Kyle Wiens, the CEO of advocacy group iFixit, in a statement. “We’re especially thrilled to see this bill pass in the state where iFixit is headquartered, which also happens to be Big Tech’s backyard. Since Right to Repair can pass here, expect it to be on its way to a backyard near you.” ...

One of the reasons Wiens is cheering this on is because large manufacturers, from John Deere to Apple, have previously lobbied heavily against right-to-repair legislation for two reasons. One, it allows them to corner the repair and maintenance markets, and two, it [allegedly] protects their intellectual property and trade secrets from knock-offs or competition.

However, a byproduct of the difficulty of repairing modern electronics is that most people just throw them away.

...Wien added in the statement that he believes the California bill is a watershed that will cause a landslide of this legislation to come in the near future."

Y'all still boycotting, right? Still following the BDS movement, right? You still remember that Boycotts are for life, right?? You read that the Israeli Zionist Occupation is connected to other ongoing genocides, e.g. in Congo, right???
