Why is E-waste issue?
Because e-waste is hard to recycle or reuse and is extremely polluting to the environment.
Separation of useful electrical components is hard and the resale of the recycled components reach a very low resale value, which does not cover the cost of collecting and processing.
Many private companies are reluctant to start recycling the e-waste in land fills despite the high number of recyclable components.
It also uses a lot of valuable land fill space which creates problems as it cannot degrade properly and pollutes nearby areas and fills up space that could be used for more organic and biodegradable waste.
