In response to the problem of emissions and climate change, many countries and companies around the world have taken a more responsible stance. Any nation creates waste, and it is for that purpose that global projects are introduced. Specifically, electronic waste poses something of a major challenge because of how hard it is to dispose of it in an environmentally sustainable way. This article explains how technical it is. Companies distribute their equipment and how they help deter environmental damage. It also includes and contrasts numerous countries and how they each cope with the rising challenge of emissions and climate change. However, companies like Amazon and Apple have been avoiding the responsibility of their electronic waste clean up and that is very upsetting since they are the ones in power to make a difference.

 

Electronic pollution has caused our world to have quite a few issues. It adds a significant amount of contaminants and it is extremely difficult to get rid of several devices. It is mentioned in this article that the UK sends approximately 40 percent of its electronic waste abroad. This means that the components are not recycled in these products and cannot be used in new devices. They’re polluting the atmosphere instead. It is important to remember that Britain has such a huge volume of electronic waste that it can not treat it well.
