What Should Be Done To Increase The Reuse And Recycling Of Used Electronics?
Everyone has a role to play in promoting the increased reuse and recycling of used electronics, including manufacturers, local governments, the recycling industry, and private citizens. Because the electronics industry has the expertise to design and manufacture products, its primary focus is to keep end-of-life considerations in mind at the design stage. This promotes the increased reuse and recycling of used electronics by lowering recycling costs and enhancing reuse capabilities. Examples include designing products for disassembly and for upgrade potential.
