I feel like this practice is the best possible one for the future; as statistically most of the rare earth metals known to man are found above ground in waste bins landfills, and your kitchen drawer. Instead of continuing these environmentally destructive practices like mountain top sheering or fracking, we should dive into the depths of the worlds landfills to find the metals we need for various industries. we would essentially be killing to birds with one stone we get rid of the landfills and provide the world with the metals it needs without destroying habitats and ecosystems.

This is one solution that I feel more companies need to adopt at least temporarily to slow and manage our current e-waste problems before they become unmanageable and force not only our present selves but the future generations to adapt.

This problem really effects, third world countries. As the use our second hand electronic to not only make a life for themselves and provide for their families. Many flock to e-waste recycling for this but put themselves at considerably high risk as there is not adequate protection from the often highly "Toxic" materials found in our modern day electronic. This is why many e-waste workers hardly live past 40 as very cancers, illness, as disease claim the lives of 4 out of every thousand people in Ghana.

The main issue is that governments don't put enough effort nor legislation into e-waste disposal or management. With some willing to pay other countries to ship e-waste overseas rather than coming up with a solution on their own soil.
