Each year, consumers purchase millions of electronic devices, such
as televisions, computers, and cell phones, and are faced with what
to do with their used electronics. Recycling can recover a variety
of materials, including precious metals, and many electronics can
be reused or contain reusable components. Yet, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and industry data show that tens of
millions of used electronics are thrown away each year. Moreover,
because used electronics often contain toxic substances, such as
lead and mercury, their end-of-life management raises concerns
about the potential adverse impacts on human health and the
environment, particularly when used electronics are exported to
countries that lack a safe recycling and disposal capacity. This
book examines the EPA's current efforts to facilitate the
environmentally sound management of used electronics, with a focus
on the view of manufacturers, retailers, recyclers, state and local
governments, and other stakeholders.
