Circular Design Gives E-Waste A Second Life
Dell News, Thursday, October 12,2023
Dell Technologies goes back to the future as we design for a more circular economy.
I'm always surprised by the statistics about electronic waste (e-waste) and how little is understood about this critical environmental issue. A recent study of Gen Z and Millennials found 60% of adults don't know what e-waste is, and 57% didn't realize these items contribute to pollution. E-waste is anything with a plug, battery or cable-electronics that have reached the end of their useful lives. Every year we recognize International E-Waste Day on Oct. 14, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the growing problem of e-waste and promote responsible e-waste management.
