To solve a problem one must first understand it. The e-waste problem that has been on an exponential increase in recent years is only going to get worse.
If we don’t know how big the problem is or how quickly it is increasing we won’t grasp how severe it really is. It is difficult sometimes to visualize and fully grasp the magnitude of our impact on this planet. Infographics fortunately have come a long way since the times of the tricolor pie-charts and column graphs and are now very common around the web. This interesting infographic brought to us in collaboration between GOOD Magazine and Column Five Media, clearly depicts a complex and huge issue. The ever increasing e-waste problem.
As technology advances and we build more and more devices, the number of obsolete electronics in need of disposal is growing as well. The issue of global e-waste is a mounting concern. And as the e-waste problem piles up, many countries are finding it easiest to just ship theirs overseas.
Is anyone else thinking about getting into the e-waste recycling business?!
