Electronic devices, such as computers, MP3 players, televisions and cell phones, have become everyday items that everyone demands, and often replaces regularly. According to Pew Research Center, 91% of American adults own a cell phone, and 55% own a smartphone. Many people don’t know what to do with old or unwanted electronic devices, leaving them to the trash or landfills. According to the EPA, e-waste is the fastest growing municipal waste stream in America and less than 20 percent of unwanted cell phones are recycled each year. The e-waste challenge is to extend device usage to end-of-life, safely mine existing devices for valuable materials, and design new devices that can be easily recycled and using reclaimed materials where possible.
