goldsilverpro said:The problem with about 90% of the E-waste is that, with present technology, it's not profitable to recycle it. As much as I hate to say this, the only way to keep it out out of the landfills is for the government to subsidize the recycling operations. This is a capitalistic society. Profit is the only motive in industry.
You're right about that. Make everybody pay the piper. It would be great if close to 100% would end up in the hand of the processors. That usually doesn't happen with these type things, unfortunately, when you consider "administrative fees" and such.What we need is States & Provinces legistating e waste recycling. Alberta in Canada has it http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada.....-0131.html . California has it.
By far, the best technology is in Europe, due to their more Socialist leanings.Also Its important to use a E waste recycler with the best technology to recover the commodities to the highest grade.
