Any groundskeeper landscape contractor or tree service in Houston specialist would quote a figuratively high cost for a single tree. Ask a farmer about the value of trees and he will tell you that the tree’s worth is all about the fruits it bear and the protection it provides.
The rapid pace of technological change in the field of electronics has made appliances for homes and office equipment both affordable and widely used. The extreme growth rates but also ever increasing obsolescence rates result in large quantities of electrical and electronic equipment being added to the waste stream. This Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) or e-waste for short, includes computers, entertainment electronics, telecommunication equipment, but also cooling appliances, tools etc. that are discarded.
The large quantities of e-waste being generated have spawned a new industry: e-waste recycling. E-waste recycling partly is a lucrative business because electronics consist of valuable materials such as gold, copper but increasingly also plastic, glass, etc.
