and breaks it down to be remade.
It is the simplest yet most effective way
to preserve the earth
The Importance of Recycling
What happens to old technology?
The answer to this is it gets thrown away
most of the time.
E-Waste is one of the worst types of
polluting.
The old gadgets go into piles of dirt
called landfills.
this is why we need to dispose them and
then they get reused into plastic and
metals.

Environmental Standards

the economy

E-Waste is the main cause of pollution. We can solve this
issue by recycling.
