Researchers have developed a biodegradable polymer for electronics, which could complicate e-scrap recycling if it were ever adopted for widespread use.
Conducted by researchers from Stanford University, the University of California, Santa Barbara and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, the
When investigators reported last year on how new PCs were failing to meet their stated sustainability credentials, a reoccurring problem emerged: e-plastics weren't being labeled correctly.
That's one takeaway from a series of Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT)
A Virginia-based processor has run into CRT glass management challenges in the wake of the collapse of Closed Loop Refining and Recovery.
The company, eWaste Tech Systems, was founded in 2012 and sent CRT glass to the Columbus, Ohio headquarters of Closed Loop until last year.
BlueOak announced that in the next few weeks it will begin operating a smelter aimed exclusively at e-scrap.
BlueOak Arkansas will accept all of the circuit boards processed and shredded by Cohen Electronics, an Ohio-base
Getting old mobile devices out of Canadians' junk drawers and into the recycling stream may be a lucrative challenge for the e-scrap industry, a survey suggests.
According to research on the Canadian market, 62 percent of survey respondents said they had at least one old phone in storage, up from 48 percent the year before.
In 2016, respondents a
A Washington state metals recycling company has grown its e-scrap capabilities by acquiring a facility previously owned by IMS Electronics Recycling.
Tacoma, Wash.-based Simon Metals has purchased the 69,000-square-foot location, which includes an advanced shredding and separation line, in Vancouver, Wash.
