#E Waste

The materials from #electronics thrown out each year are worth an estimated $60 billion. #ewaste #recycling

E-waste contains many different toxic substances, which if not treated properly are hazardous to the environment and health as they release toxic pollutants, including arsenic, mercury, lead and cadmium that contaminate the air, soil, dust, and water. But e-waste can easily be recycled! Here’s how: 1. Visit www.hulladek.in and schedule a pick-up or call or just call 1800-212-7880 2. Check with your local recycler if they take E-waste and give it to them. See my highlight ‘recycling’ for a reel on city wise recyclers in India Recycling E-waste not only protects the environment and human health but also helps to reuse precious materials and reduces mining for these materials. #recycle #ewasterecycling

E-waste recycling in action: the worker cuts chip blocks from old circuit boards using a handheld cutter aligned by a laser. These pieces are later processed to extract gold, silver, palladium, and other high-value metals — boosting recovery and reducing waste.

India’s e-waste is crashing into us, 1.6 million tonnes generated annually, yet less than a quarter is formally recycled. If we don’t fix our systems, we lose not just valuable materials but our air, health, and safety. Join us in changing the story this International E-Waste Day. #ewaste #recyclingindia #circulareconomy #sustainableindia #techwaste #eWasteCrisis #recycleforgood #greenfuture #cuttingcarbon #lucro #formalrecycling #wastemanagement #planetfirst #reuse #turntowardschange

E-waste Recycling for Eco Enterprises. The most precious metals in e-waste include gold, silver, and palladium, which are found in small but highly concentrated amounts, especially on printed circuit boards. Their value is high because their concentration in e-waste can be significantly higher than in natural ores, making them valuable for both economic and environmental reasons. While a specific value fluctuates with market prices, these metals are a significant component of the estimated \(\$57\) billion in raw materials within global e-waste, as reported by the Global E-waste Monitor.

Urban Mining: High-Efficiency E-Waste Recycling in Action! ♻️🔌 ​Witness the precision of modern electronic waste recovery! This video demonstrates the rapid extraction of valuable integrated circuits (ICs) from printed circuit boards (PCBs). This critical process is the first step in "Urban Mining," where old electronics are transformed back into high-value raw materials like gold, copper, and silicon. ​The Art of Component Recovery ​This process is a specialized form of de-manufacturing, where complex assemblies are systematically broken down to reclaim precious resources: ​The Setup: A technician, equipped with protective gloves, handles discarded motherboards over a collection bin. A laser guidance system (the red crosshairs) is used to precisely align the cutting path, ensuring only the targeted components are removed without damaging the surrounding board or the chips themselves. ​The Tool: Instead of a traditional CNC mill, this setup uses a high-speed handheld rotary saw or a fixed blade system designed for rapid shearing. The speed and stability of the tool allow for clean cuts through the fiberglass and copper layers of the PCB. ​Precision Extraction (0:00 - 0:18): The operator follows the laser-guided path to "harvest" specific sections of the board—usually where the most valuable microprocessors and memory chips are located. You can see the harvested components falling into a bin already filled with hundreds of similar high-value parts. ​Efficiency & Scale: This manual yet guided approach is incredibly fast, allowing a single worker to process dozens of boards per hour. This ensures that the recovery of rare earth metals remains economically viable. ​The Final Goal: These collected chips will later undergo chemical or thermal processing to extract pure metals, which are then reintegrated into the manufacturing cycle for new technology. ​This efficient recycling loop is what makes sustainable tech possible and reduces the environmental impact of traditional mining! 🌍💡 ​What’s the oldest piece of tech you’ve ever recycled?

A viral video shared by @TheProjectUnity showcases the surprising process of extracting real gold from discarded SIM cards. Using acid baths, filtration, and smelting, a recycler processes massive quantities of old SIMs- each containing tiny amounts of gold plating (typically 1- 8 mg per card) for reliable contacts. The dramatic result: a shiny 310g gold bar worth thousands. While mesmerizing and highlighting e-waste value, the labor- intensive, hazardous method (involving dangerous chemicals) and sheer volume required make it impractical for most people-more educational spectacle than get-rich-quick scheme. #GoldRecovery #SIMCards #EWaste #PreciousMetals

According to the EPA, 400,000 tons of waste enter landfills PER DAY! Is this the world we want our children to inherit? Transitioning to a sustainable and circular economy will emphasize reuse and mitigate waste.
