E-waste is a shortening of the term 'electronic or electrical waste'. In simple terms this means any piece of electronic or electrical equipment (hairdryer, fridge, mobile phone etc) that has reached the end of it's useful life. The WEEE Directive has strict rules about the correct methods of disposal of e-waste which should include both recycling and reuse. For example there is a lot of material within e-waste, such as precious metals, that if recovered properly can be used again. This saves money and the environment in mining for more of the same material. If e-waste is not disposed of correctly, it can end up in municipal landfill where it is likely to cause damage to the surrounding area. Electronics can contain a lot of very hazardous substances such as mercury and lead which can have very damaging side effects on any animals that ingest or inhale it as well as penetrating the land for years to come.
There is advantages on e-waste recycling since developing countries depend on E-waste recycling a lot. For example, the e-waste recycling industry in China and India in very important. Many people earn this for a living. So e-waste recycling is important. But also, there are disadvantages since e-waste produces a lot of pollution. It is bad to peoples health so we must be careful.
E-waste is when old technology e.g. a computer reaches the end of it's life :( it is sent to a factory where anything useful of it is taken and the scrap is gotten rid of correctly. However many country's send there e-waste to country's like India as it is a fraction of the price. However they are having to work under very dangerous conditions.
