RESELL of e-waste

One of the best and easiest methods of reducing the electronic waste is to resell or donate your electronic gadgets to those in need rather than trash them.

Improperly disposed e-waste is becoming more and more hazardous, especially when the sheer volume of our e-waste increases. For this reason, large brands like Apple, Samsung, and other companies have started giving options to its customers to recycle or resell old electronics. 

Reselling the old electronics allows the expensive electronic parts inside to be reused rather than going for to buy new electronic parts. This seems to be a good option if the products have to be manufactured for the short period of time or which are shortly used. This can save a lot of energy and reduce the need for mining of new raw resources, or manufacturing new parts.

There are several ways to curb the environmental hazards arising from the recycling of electronic waste and save our planet. One of the factors which exacerbate the e-waste problem is the diminishing lifetime of many electrical and electronic goods. There are two drivers (in particular) for this trend. On the one hand, consumer demand for low cost products militates against product quality and results in short product lifetimes.

On the other hand, manufacturers in some sectors encourage a regular upgrade cycle, and may even enforce it through restricted availability of spare parts, service manuals and software updates, or through planned obsolescence. 

One other important measure to curb the generation of electronic waste is to rent rather than out rightly buy a specific piece of electronic equipment which is not used everything. For example, if you sparingly use industrial weighing scales for measuring, rent the scales instead of buying them.

The manufacturers have been devoted to taking expensive and reusable parts from discarded electronic devices and selling them for the benefit of local businesses and manufacturers.
