E-waste recycling is a scam
Modern electronics are designed using plastics, alloys, custom screws and glues. Materials are added in incredibly tiny amounts into products that are small to begin with. You cannot effectively recycle this stuff.
Why? Performance efficiency. Planned obsolescence. Style and vanity.
Result: Products you can't recycle.
Designer's response: Yes, we will address recycling soon.
They know they won't. They know the can't.
Modern electronics: designed for the trash.
