We can be so much in love with our electronics gadgets, laptops and smartphones that we are very ignorant of its other effects on us and while in love with using these we fall for our new smartphones and gadgets and dispose of the previous one, sometimes only to have the feeling of technical supremacy – no matter how much we loved it, it is discarded very mercilessly, unprofessionally and irresponsibly The problem is, we’re used to irresponsibly discarding electronic/electrical items when they’re no longer useful to us, be it a smartphone, computer, laptop, printer, fridge or toaster. This adds to the growing stream of e-waste in the world, which reached about 50 million MT in 2018, according to a recent report by the World Economic Forum. That’s equivalent to the mass of more than 4,500 Eiffel Towers.
