E-waste is considerably increasing at a high rate globally over the past decade. this problem. This problem will get worse in the coming years if necessary steps are not taken to minimise the production of these junks. Many people argue that government bodies should take necessary steps to reduce the accumilation however, I suggest that steps should be taken at an individual level.
To start with, the major source of these problems arises when people do not dispose of their previously owned gadgets or those that are not functioning or broken, and some people tend to buy electronic gadgets that are new in the market, which leads to having more than one device for the same purpose. For example, every year when a new iPhone model is launched, people tend to change their phone despite it working properly. it is advised to have a mindful approach before buying a new device and finding a way to dispose of the older one.
When it comes to heavy gadgets that are used in industries, corporations, and factories. its often not maintained properly, and once they change to a avanced one, the previous gadgets are considered useless and not disposed of properly. Many of the mnc still have their Windows 8 desktops unused and discarded despite their working condition. It can be either upgraded with new software or donated to the rookies or students to learn and practise.
To conclude, E-waste has many poisons that can harm lives and the environment. I hope the government will implement and improve the laws regarding this, and business bodies and people tend to be more cautious about the technology they have access to and the waste that these produce.
