When silicon chips were invented ... they were thought to be more durable and tough ... yet cheap for very rough uses ... and it was never thought that in future it could make environmental problems ... till some years before ... but at present time we are already facing problems regarding silicon chips waste management ...
Like we know ... no known electronics item has been made without use of silicon chips ... some call them PCBs .. printed circuit boards ... and when we buy electronics item , for example computer we never think that what we are gonna do after use of certain years .. right ?? , but at present time this junk has been piled up to very high value and environmentalists are worried for its impact on our atmosphere ...
Good news is that , people are becoming aware of this problem are whole new concept of recycling ... E-Cycling .. has be developed ... main purpose of it is to properly recycle that silicon waste and if possible reuse them ...
Recently Toshiba, Sharp and Panasonic have teamed up to offer a recycling system for electronics across the whole of the United States.
The three set up a joint venture, the Electronic Manufacturers Recycling Management Company, which will now set up 280 recycling points across all 50 states. It will also work with commercial recyclers, municipal recycling centers and not-for-profit organizations to widen the number of recycling points available.
“Consumers are thinking more and more about their impact on the planet and as a result they are looking for brands and products that are committed to the environment,” said Maria Repole, associate vice president or corporate communications at Toshiba.
“This year, Toshiba is putting even more emphasis on improving its environmental practices and demonstrating its commitment to sustainability.”
The eventual goal is to have a network of over 800 recycling points across the country, making it much easier for businesses and consumers to dispose of their electronic waste.
"We continuously seek ways to reduce impact on the environment," said Sharp chief executive Doug Koshima.
Thats all for now ....
