Dr. Diaz

Today we’ll talk about strategies companies can use to help reduce electronics waste. First, there’s recycling. This typically involves separating the materials that electronics contain and reusing them. But this can be difficult and too expensive. Or perhaps the emphasis should be on making electronics last longer—for example, by requiring companies to offer replacement parts on the products they manufacture. Which approach do you think would be most effective?
Kelly

Electronic products should be designed to last longer. I cracked the screen on my cell phone once and only needed a new screen. But the company that made the phone didn’t sell replacement screens, so I couldn’t get it repaired. I had to throw the phone away even though I could have used it longer with a new screen.

It’d be better to require companies to improve their recycling programs. For example, I need to dispose of an old computer I own because the hardware is outdated. But where I live, there are no facilities for electronics recycling. I know that some companies pay the costs for consumers to ship their old computers back to the company for recycling.
