    E-waste is fast becoming a serious global problem. 1.

The source of e-waste

We live in a society that constantly produces and consumes electronic products. It is often cheaper to buy new pieces of equipment than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies persuade consumers to replace their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away electronic equipment like this. In the EU alone, about 8.7 million tonnes of e-waste is produced each year. 2.

The problem with e-waste

Burying e-waste in landfills or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. 3. These substances can then leak into the ground in landfills or pollute the air when they are burnt.

Global recycling schemes (计划)

4. However, their schemes are not always managed properly and sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling programs in the countries that create e-waste could solve this problem. E-cycling centres could recycle the parts that we can reuse and properly dispose of the rest.

Take-back policy

Another solution to e-waste is to make manufacturers responsible for their used products. This could mean forcing them to take back old products which are no longer wanted. 5.

Consuming less

We can all reduce the amount of waste we produce by buying electrical products only when we have to.

A.In recent years, many countries have started recycling e-waste.

B.They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.

C.Sadly, just over one million tonnes is recycled.

D.This report will examine this problem and provide some possible solutions.

E.By resisting the temptation to buy a product just to have the latest version, we cut down on e-waste.

F.Electronics contain dangerous chemicals and metals.

G.Both manufacturers and consumers must accept their responsibilities and make efforts to keep it to a minimum.
