Rapid growth in the use of computers and the incorporation of
electronic features in a wide array of consumer products have been
among the most important driving forces of the nation's economy
during the last decade; but they also pose major potential
environmental problems. In addition to producing better products,
the improvements in technology have created growing volumes of
obsolete products to be managed as waste. According to the National
Safety Council, which undertook the first major effort to gather
quantitative information on electronic product recycling, 55.4
million personal computers will become obsolete in the United
States in 2002. At an average weight of 70 pounds, obsolete PCs
weighing 3.878 billion pounds will be added to the supply of waste
needing management in 2002 alone.
