WHAT’S E-WASTE? E-waste is a short way to say or reffer to electronic waste, but the correct definition or form to call this problem would be wastes from electrical and electronic devices. Development In other words, the e-waste makes reference to all electrical and electronic devices that runned out of useful life, that have been replaced or that no longer accomplish with their initial purpose, remaining outdated. The more common examples of the e-waste are cell and landline phones, varying household appliances such as fridges, microwave oven, computers, tablets, etcetera. However, not everything is bad about e-waste, because you can obtain a lot of reusable resources such as gold, copper, silver, plastic, and distinct ferrous metals, that, because of their capacity of being reusable new electronic equipment can be made. Said so, if the e-waste is reused can benefit the environment. 13
