Cause of the problem: The problem surrounding electronic waste is mainly due to the incorrect disposal of electronic products, which cannot be disposed of in common waste, as this waste is destined for landfills.
When electronic waste is incorrectly disposed of in a landfill, in addition to not being able to be properly recycled, it can pose great risks to the environment and public health, as it contains heavy chemical components in its formation.
In addition, electronic waste deposited in landfills fills these places even more since metals, plastics and glass take a long time to decompose and reduce their useful life.
Currently, Brazil is the country that discards the most electronic devices and batteries in Latin America and the fifth in the world, it is worth mentioning that less than 3% of all this discarded electronic waste is recycled correctly
